"It's going to be hard to find a better place to stay and eat on the Mosel than Hotel Zeltinger Hof.
The property is somewhat peculiarly segmented and spread across several locations, which may at first seem disjointed and inconvenient (especially if it's pouring rain), but in the end it starts to make sense.
The rooms were incredibly well appointed, the check-in experience very smooth and friendly, and the dining frankly out of this world. The selection of wines was, as expected, an anthology of the greatest producers along the Mosel and its tributaries.
But what I did NOT expect was how deep that anthology went. The wine list exposes you to an encyclopedic history of both current AND now-defunct or impossibly small winemakers and wines, some remarkably old and hopefully very well preserved--a deep-dive into the Mosel's prolific winemaking pre-history.
There's so much about this property that begs to be explored even more, and thus we'll return. Hopefully in the very near future.
Well done, Zeltinger Hof!!"
