Visit Germany's oldest wine city by motorhome

In the heart of the Moselle, between steep vineyards, you will find the town of Neumagen-Dhron, Germany's oldest wine town. Surrounded by green landscapes, here you can see, smell and taste the flavour of the region. Curious to find out more? Then read on!

A visit to Germany's oldest wine town is not complete without a wine tasting in one of its many wine cellars. For example, settle down at the well-known Weingut Hilmes, which has even won awards for its fine wines. Two types you should definitely not miss are the Dhroner Eselsmilch and the Dhronhofberger! Will you be in Neumagen-Dhron in September? Then be sure to join a wine festival! In a parade, wine queens and princesses from different villages walk through the city streets. Naturally, wine flows profusely during these celebrations, the perfect way to experience the region's atmosphere and tradition!

Besides your knowledge of wine, would you like to brush up on your knowledge of the area? In Neumagen-Dhron you will learn all about the history of the Moselle, which goes back to Roman times. For example, a wine ship was found at that time, showing that wine was already being produced and traded in the town around 220 AD. This immediately makes Neumagen-Dhron the oldest wine town in Germany. Sail down the Moselle in a replica ship and dive - almost literally - into the history of the town and region.

Do you like to be active yourself? Then hiking the archaeological trail or the Moselsteig is a must. Walking past various Roman monuments, through vineyards and past impressive rock formations, you will experience the region at its best. Would you rather get on your bike? Then opt for the route along the Moselle Cycle Path, which also takes you through several cosy villages as you meander along the Moselle. Ideal for a well-deserved stopover! 

In addition, the Moselle offers many more beautiful spots! For example, in just over half an hour you can drive to Trier, Germany's oldest city. As in Neumagen-Dhron, here you will find a unique combination between German wine culture and Roman history. For example, stroll under the more than 1,800-year-old city gate Porta Nigra, across the Rӧmerbrücke and visit the Trierer Dom. For a culinary touch to your motorhome trip, settle down at one of the wineries here too! 

If you really enjoy motorhome touring through beautiful rolling countryside full of vineyards, with the sun shining in the sky and cute villages and towns to wander through, then the Moselle region is the place to be! Recommended stops are Bernkastel-Kues, Beilstein and Koblenz!
