  We head to the majestic Rhine Valley.

We visit the quaint Rhineland town of Boppard, which was once a Roman fort. Enjoy time at leisure in this pretty town to explore or amble along the promenade.

  Later, we travel to Alken, in the Moselle Valley, where we enjoy an optional wine-tasting at the house of Anton Hammes one of the famous vintners of the area.
