Bernkastel
The winery Geheimrat J. Wegeler is located in the middle of the idyllic Bernkastel-Kues. Top winemaker Tom Drieseberg presents and tastes his favorite wines with you, including the "Beethoven wines". Ludwig van Beethoven connected throughout his life a deep friendship with Franz-Gerhard Wegeler, the grandfather of the winery founder.
.
Behind every door in Bernkastel you can surely find a piece of history. Let us convince you of this on a guided walk through the ancient alleys of Bernkastel-Kues. The place name Bernkastel goes back to "Princastellum", a Roman fort, which was built in the great river bend. It was not until 1904 that the districts of Bernkastel and Kues were brought together and connected by a bridge over the Moselle. During this guided tour, you will not only learn interesting facts about the wine cultural landscape, but also about the fascinating history of the Cusanus town.
