GERMANY, Rhein and Mosel tour:

A fantastic wine tour is coming up in early September: we are travelling to the iconic Rhein and Mosel regions and will explore in depths the king of white grapes: Riesling.

Join me as we visit world-famous wineries, meet well-known wine personalities, and taste many of the wines you read about. 

This year we start in Wiesbaden, a historic spa town famous for its hot springs. From there we do a side kick visit to the Rheinhessen wine region and will learn that Germany also produces extraordinary Pinot Noir (yes: Germany is the number 3 producer of Pinot Noir world-wide and of course number 1 producer of Riesling). We spend two days in the Rheingau, tasting our way through the different wine estates and terroirs, continue to the romantic Mittelrhein region where we do a cruise on the Rhein to indulge in the wine world’s most spectacular scenery with medieval villages and castles and ruins crowning the top of the hills like pearls on a string, and vineyards clinging to the rocky steep slopes.

We very much focus on the Mosel region. We travel the countless bends of the river from head to toe, from the confluence with the Rhein in Koblenz to the border with Luxembourg, visiting iconic wineries and up-and-coming producers already discovered by importers in the US.

Our final day we spend in the Nahe wine region with its many interpretations of the Riesling grape due to its mosaic of terroir.

There are only two slots left for this tour.
   
RHÔNE VALLEY
   
Join us as we explore in detail the wines of the Rhône Valley. The Rhône wine region is one of the most ancient wine growing regions in France and the second largest AOP region in France after Bordeaux. There are 28 appellations,15 red grapes and 12 white grapes to explore, and a long fascinating history starting in the 4th century BC. 

We start in vibrant, cool, sophisticated Lyon, the capital of Haut Cuisine. We explore the Northern Rhône where only 5% of all Rhône wines come from but where we have 3 world-famous appellations: Côte Rôtie, Hermitage, and Condrieu.
 
We follow the eponymous Rhône river south to Avignon, the city that was the seat of the papacy for the better part of the 14th century. On the way south we stay at a wine estate at the foot of the ‘Dentelle de Montmirail’ in the heart of the famous Gigondas, Vacqueyras, appellations to soak in the regions’s natural beauty and to discover some great wines of excellent value.  
 
Parts of the southern Rhône belong to Provence. Here we see olive trees, smell the fragrances of the ‘herbs de Provence’ and enjoy the French ‘savoir vivre’. Besides learning about the southern Rhône wines, we visit iconic historic places such as Arles, the city with the magical light that Impressionist artists masterfully captured in their paintings and where we follow the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh. 

Our last days in the Rhône Valley we explore in depth the iconic Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine appellation and will taste dark red, fruity, spicy wines from top wine domaines.   http://www.ombiasypr.com/index.php/wine-tours/rhone/rhone-introduction

I wish you a great Memorial Day weekend with family and friends - and of course a fantastic glass of wine to celebrate.
 
Looking forward to seeing you in Wiesbaden or Lyon! AND: do not hesitate to get in touch with me for any question you may have. I am very happy to talk to you. 
 
Cheers
