Set halfway between Trier and Koblenz on the beautiful Moselle River, in Germany’s Rhineland-Palatinate state, the town of Zell oozes a sense of heritage and culinary indulgence. Here, visitors can explore ancient castles, or spend entire days hopping from one wine estate to the next. Meander along the cobbled streets of the Old Town until you get to Zell’s magnificent 16th-century castle, or pop in to the 19th-century town hall and museum to learn more about regional crafts, the art of the local wine industry, and the area's history. Under the watchful eye of the Black Cat statue, the marketplace comes alive with fairs, festivals and events. Culinary enthusiasts flock to Zell to sample the area’s renowned gourmet offerings - the town lies at the centre of the largest winegrowing area on the Mosel, with serious Reisling wines attracting the most attention.
