Going to Mosel-Wein-Woche Cochem?

A free five-day wine week at Endertplatz in Cochem where the Mosel's wine-growing cooperatives gather to pour their finest Rieslings and sparkling wines against the backdrop of Reichsburg Castle. The Friday fireworks display over the Mosel River is a festival highlight, and the intimate scale (compared to Bernkastel) makes it ideal for unhurried exploration of Mosel wine styles.

Insider tip

June is early season on the Mosel — accommodation is easy to find and the riverside terrace cafes are at their best. The Friday fireworks at 10:30pm are spectacular against the castle backdrop.

About Mosel

The Mosel is Germany's most celebrated wine region, where the river loops dramatically through slate cliffs planted with Riesling vines on slopes so steep they must be worked entirely by hand. The cool climate and ancient grey slate soils produce Rieslings of electric acidity, gossamer weight, and extraordinary longevity — from bone-dry Grosses Gewächs to celestially delicate Trockenbeerenauslese.
