The further off from England the nearer to France

From England to Germany.

Drive a car, it's the only way. Over the water into France, quickly through France ,Belgium, slow down for the lovely Ardennes and over into Germany by the river Mosel. (Not the Moselle, that is in France). Here they make the best wine in the world.

Pölicher Held vines

Mosel valley, 'the Roman Wine Road'

Every usable space has vines and the real wine comes to your table in every Gasthof and restaurant in the villages along the river. Our favourite is the Pölicher Held in Pölich village. Held means Hero, the hero in ths case is the grape.
