Food for Thought School & College Tours to The Rhineland and Moselle
We have taken an old favourite of the Rhineland and given it a new culinary flavour.
Our cookery tour will give your students the opportunity to create and sample authentic Germany cuisine. Within the Rhineland region is Koblenz, founded two thousand years ago as a Roman out-post. The city is at the tip of the Loreley Valley.
Called the valley of the castles, it is the perfect starting spot for visits in the area, giving easy access to the Moselle towns and to both banks of the Rhine.
