Medieval Bernkastel-Kues, with its narrow streets, historic half-timbered buildings, quaint shops and rustic wine taverns, has attractions to charm any visitor. It was one of the most scenic Moselle towns. And as an extra temptation for wine-lovers, Bernkastel-Kues is also well-known as a viticulture centre; visitors come here to enjoy Moselle wines, especially during the annual Weinfest der Mittelmosel in September, the largest wine festival held in the Middle Moselle region
