Expand your imagination in fairytale villages — enchanting Cochem where folklore and history come alive in every street, and in well-preserved Bernkastel with its medieval Market Square and half-timbered houses. Bike through the vineyards of Breisach wine country while learning about the history of local wine production. With a dedicated wine expert to guide you, you’ll also have the opportunity to indulge in wine tastings and a specially curated food and wine pairing dinner on board – all included in the price of your Celebration of Wine River Cruise.What's Included

Drink up the stunning views by soaring high above the vineyards with a gondola ride to the Niederwalddenkmal Statue, and afterwards be treated to a wine tasting. For a more active adventure, hike through the town’s beautiful vineyards or join a guided bike tour along the scenic Rhine River to Schloss Johannisberg.

- Experience the charms of Strasbourg as you wander its storybook lanes and admire its soaring cathedral, then cap off the day with a tasting of Alsace’s beautifully aromatic wines. You can explore the city’s iconic districts on a guided walk or bike ride through its parks and Old Town before savoring the region’s celebrated varietals.
