A small group of seniors from a river cruise were fortunate enough to be booked in here for a wine tasting. Our welcome was warm and the young man ? proprietor evidently loved his winery, and did his utmost to enlighten us with the mysteries of the art, and ensured we all had a really good time. The amounts of wine given were very adequate, and top-ups were available if requested. Five wines of different qualities were given and in truth, all were excellent. At the end of the tasting you were given a bottle of fairly basic wine to take away, but others were available to purchase and special offers were made. A truly excellent tasting by a very knowledgeable man, full of wit and humour.

This beautiful castle atop a steep hill has a spectacular view of the town below. The interior areas were lovely and the guided history of the castle was outstanding.

Highly recommended! You can take the train to Cochem. The station is about ten minutes from the town centre. There is a tourist information and the shuttle bus leaves from one of the bus stands outside (just ask at the tourist information if you need help - they were really friendly). The bunker itself is a five minute drive away. The tour lasted about an hour. I did the German-language tour (and German is not my first language). Your German will need to be good if you do the German language tour as an explanation is needed. I believe there are also English-language tours as well. The only slight criticism is the group size. There were about 28 in my group and we didn't always fit in the same room as the guide which also made it a little difficult to catch everything that was being said. However, this was all in all a minor point and the passion and enthusiasm of the guide was clear and made this a really interesting tour. Cochem is a beautiful town and you could easily make a full-day trip here.

My husband and I recently visited this mustard mill. There are numerous mustards available for tasting. It was fairly crowded when we went and we didn't get a chance to try some of the other food items. Nor did we take the tour of the mustard factory (not in English but I bet it would be interesting). Also note that they only accept cash. But we got some wonderful and unique mustards. Germany has the best mustard!
