Watch this video @winekellertravel to discover what there is to see and experience in the beautiful Upper Middle Rhine Valley, from Bingen am Rhein in the south to the lovely medieval town of Oberwesel. The Romantic Rhine Gorge - a Unesco World Heritage Site - a steep, narrow valley where ancient castles tower over mediaeval villages and impossibly steep, terraced vineyards , with the highest concentration of castles compared to anywhere else in the world.
The Mittelrhein wine region:
The Mittelrhein wine region comprises about 470 hectares of vineyards, running either side of the River Rhine, the most important of which are located around the popular wine towns of Bacharach and Boppard. Just upstream from Bacharach, there are also some excellent vineyard sites around Oberwesel.
Approximately three-quarters of Mittelrhein vineyards are planted with Riesling, producing some excellent and well-regarded wines. This small German wine region also produces some high quality red wines, in particular Pinot noir - or Spätburgunder.
Our Upper Middle Rhine Valley tour route:
Join us as we journey up the Rhine, starting by car from Rüdesheim am Rhein and its opposite neighbour Bingen, then continuing into Mittlerhein via the right side of the river, up as far as the town of Lorch. Driving on this side of the Rhine offers superb views to the many castles on the other side.
At Lorch we switched transport, parking the car and getting on our bikes, from where we took the Rhine ferry across to Niederheimbach. From here we cycled on the left bank of the Rhine, through Bacharach and on to Oberwesel, where we turned round and took the Rhine ferry across to Kaub. From Kaub we then cycled back to Lorch.
Follow our journey and see what we discovered - anf of course we visited a couple of excellent wineries along the way and enjoyed some wine tasting!
