chweich is one of the main addresses of the Roman wine streets. It links a total of 19 typical Moselle wine locales and major wineries: Trittenheim and Leiwen, Longuich and Mehring, Klüsserath and Bekond, Thörnich and Detzem. The Romans laid the foundations for wine-growing and the lavish architecture that gave rise to villas, temples, wine presses and more here.

Walking in the footsteps of the ancient settlers and heading off on a journey of discovery is wonderful, especially in autumn with crisp nights and days that are often still warm from the sun. A delicate fog sometimes descends on the Mosel valley, bathing the vineyards in a soft light. As it grows colder, hoarfrost covers vines, walnut trees, chestnuts... a fairytale landscape is unveiled.

Starting from Schweich, it’s worth taking a daytrip to Trier with its UNESCO World Heritage site and wine cellars, or to Bernkastel-Kueswith castle ruins and a legendary old town, which is full of richly decorated half-timbered treasures. Autumn magic, wintry cosiness and pre-Christmas spirit are guaranteed to spring to life in Bernkastel's historic market square, in the toy museum of Kloster Machern  or on a Christmas tour of Trier.
