We set sail for Traben-Trarbach this morning, arriving around lunchtime. At the turn of the twentieth century, the town of Traben-Trarbach found itself at the heart of the world wine trade. This small city was once the Moselle Valley’s only town, and it was also one of the world’s most important producers of wine in the early 1900s. As the demand for wine cellars increased, the town came up with a genius solution – building huge cellars underneath the town.

On our optional excursion, you can head below the streets for a subterranean experience. You’ll venture down into one of the vaults for a guided tour and, of course, a glass of wine! We set sail this evening for Beilstein.

Just returned from a short river cruise on The Rhine which was lovely and our drivers Ian and Trina were amazing. However, I feel that Leger have let their standards drop to Shearings level since taking over the company. The Leger coaches are far superior to the Shearing brand and I don’t understand why they continue using them or advertise Shearing holidays. While the boat we sailed on was very nice I was disappointed that there was no choice of lunch or dinner menu apart from one night when you could choose meat, fish or vegetarian. Not the Leger standard I remember from previous holidays I’m afraid. People on our feeder coach that had been on a different holiday had a much worse experience and had to go out for a meal as the food was so bad in their hotel! Please drop the Shearings brand completely Leger and return to the high standards I previously enjoyed.

First time booking with Leger and it certainly won’t be my last. We were picked up in Reading and the drivers were fab. I want to say a big shout out to Dave & Rory who were absolutely brilliant the whole time. They were a great laugh. Hotel was clean and breakfast was lovely. Thanks Dave & Rory who are a huge credit to Leger.
