9 Day Castles & Wine of the Moselle and Rhine
Luxe Private Guided Tour
Feel enchanted by the cobbled lanes of perfectly preserved old towns, explore crumbling medieval castles and venture into the German countryside as you travel across the rolling hills dotted with family-run vineyards on this privately guided journey along the Moselle and Rhine.
Your adventure begins in Frankfurt, a cosmopolitan hub where ultra-modern skyscrapers seamlessly blend with a picture-perfect old town and characterful neighborhood hangouts. Continue to Darmstadt and visit its renowned artists’ colony before exploring the chilling ruins of the Frankenstein Castle. Travel to Europe’s oldest health retreat, Wiesbaden, and stop by a local winery in the small town of Eltville for your first taste of Germany’s refreshing whites. Pause in Oberwesel and expose your senses to the undeniable beauty of the legendary Rhine. The journey continues as you make your way to Bad Kreuznach; stroll through its spellbinding historical quarter and indulge in a bespoke wine tasting at a nearby vineyard. Next, arrive in one of the largest wine-growing hubs of the region, Lieser. Here, enjoy a private tour of the town’s castle and adjacent winery, and learn the secrets behind Lieser’s perfect blends. The following day hop aboard a classic 4X4 vehicle and explore the wine country outside of Rudesheim; visit age-old estates and sample a selection of wines with a real German Baron. Before wrapping up your holiday, unwind and recharge on a royal getaway at a historic castle in Kronberg.

What really matters to us
We aim to develop long term relationships – with our clients, our partners and, especially, with the communities we visit regularly. As such, our business is built on giving back. We are dedicated to preserving the land, oceans and cultures that compel us to travel.
We believe that both the customized, private-guided tours that we design and the giving partnerships we undertake should be inspiring and impactful. Our charitable initiatives are rooted in exploration, education and environmental awareness.
Encouraging exploration
A yearning for adventure and new discoveries around the globe is at the heart of all that we do. Kensington is an official travel partner of The Explorers Club, a prestigious professional society supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences.
We also support a group of intrepid storytellers from around the globe. Part of our Explorers In Residence program, these writers, photographers and filmmakers are committed to furthering our understanding of this planet and its people.
Fostering education
We believe offering access to education is one of the most powerful ways we can make a global impact. Kensington Cares is an initiative designed to support education in developing countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our efforts have helped to fund the opening of two schools in the Masai Mara: Oloosinon Primary School and Kensington Hall.
Funding environmental initiatives
We’re focused on supporting research and data collection efforts that will affect change, especially when it comes to conservation. As a founding partner of Nekton, Kensington has made an important commitment to the research and conservation of the deep ocean, our planet's last great frontier.
In accordance with 30x30, Nekton collects data and samples to set a baseline of information for the previously unexplored deep-sea waters of the Indian Ocean.
