From Luxembourg’s medieval fortifications to Würzburg’s baroque palace gardens, the Moselle, Rhine, and Main rivers deliver castles, vineyards, and storybook towns at every bend. In this episode of Europe Unveiled, Sonia takes you on a journey along three rivers connected by the Danube Canal. She walks you through the ports of call — Bernkastel, Cochem, Rüdesheim, Wertheim, Miltenberg, Würzburg, and Bamberg — sharing stories, hidden gems, and insider insights into the wines that make each region unique.

This itinerary is beautiful in every season, but in the fall harvest it truly shines: golden vineyards, lively wine festivals, and federweißer — a fizzy, just-fermented grape juice you can only taste for a few short weeks each year.
