Germany: Moselle Valley - unlike hardly any other region in Germany, the Moselle Valley attracts people from far and wide with mild, almost Mediterranean temperatures.

Bernkastel-Kues is one of the most appreciated Moselle towns and is proudly called the centre of the middle Moselle. Guests come here every year, from all over the world, to seek and find diverting recreation in the "international town of vines and wine."

Situated on both sides of the river, underneath the ruin of Landshut Castle, the old town invites you to go for a stroll through its historical lanes. Here you will discover its unique, almost hap-hazard ensemble of wonderful medieval half-timbered houses

Meet in the car park at the entrance to the East Dock Dover on Thursday morning and board together. Then it's up to the lounge area get to know each other over a coffee or three. Here we'll go through some brief safety details and group riding policies for those that have not ridden in groups previously.

The ferry ride will be over in no time and then we are off heading towards our base for the weekend.We will take as many smaller roads as possible in order that we ride through typical French, Belgian and German villages so that immediately we get that "on our hols" feeling.

Please note that the Winefest is only run during the beginning of September

Our hotel is ideally located to be able to ride out each day and enjoy the festivities each evening.With live entertainment and numerous wines from around the region to taste and test, be careful not to get carried away and mix your drinks too much!

Impossible...don't even know why we mention it!

The friendly serving wenches ensure that your next drink is never too far away.

This is a tour of excellent German roads, fantastic country lanes and warm hospitality. It includes visits to castles and the Asbach distillery in the picturesque town of Rüdesheim am Rhein and also the ever popular town of Cochem, which is said to be somewhat of a motorbikers Mecca!

A great long weekend whether it is during the Winefest or otherwise.

Then it's back to Calais for the return trip Monday afternoon.
