Combining a holiday with a wine tasting tour? What could be better?! Although Europe is the main player on the wine market, other continents and countries don’t sleep either. Wine tours provide a rare opportunity to learn more about the drink, the history and culture of the region as well as meet the winemakers, who usually take over their family business. Check out our ten choices.

10. Cochem, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Today Cochem fascinates with the very well preserved historic architecture, which spans from Medieval ages to the late 19th century. It is located in Mosel Valley – the area, which is rich with vineyards. Therefore, it is famous for the regional wines, that can be explored on a Wine Express tour. Tourists are provided with seminars and tasting, allowing them to experience the taste of the region.

Why to go there?

It is one of those idyllic German villages, which has preserved authentic historic heritage, architecture and traditions. Meanwhile, German wines, in our opinion, are underrated and one of the best in Europe, although not that popular in the world.
