Lieser.

Lieser is a small wine-producing village on the Moselle river in Rhineland-Palatinate, tucked between the vine-covered slate slopes that produce some of Germany's finest Riesling. The village is defined by Schloss Lieser, a striking neo-Gothic castle built in the 19th century by a Luxembourg industrialist that now operates as a luxury hotel with an acclaimed restaurant. The Weingut Schloss Lieser, an independent winery operating from the same estate, produces top-rated Rieslings from some of the finest Moselle sites. The village sits within a particularly beautiful stretch of the Moselle valley, within easy reach of Bernkastel-Kues and the wider wine route. The Moselsteig long-distance trail passes directly through this stretch of the river, and canoe and cycle routes connect the village to the broader Moselle landscape.
