Play Bridge & Explore the Legendary Rhine Valley

Fly to Frankfurt airport from Heathrow. Flights from Manchester are available at a supplement. We transfer to the hotel for dinner and evening bridge.

Alternatively, if you have made your own travel arrangements, we will meet you at the hotel.

This Play & Explore holiday is suited to intermediate players who wish to learn new skills, and regular players looking for a relaxed holiday with bridge. On day 2, join us for a morning welcome meeting.

Rhine Cruise (Day 4)

Join us for a full day cruise along the romantic Middle Rhine, passing medieval castles steeped in history, rolling vineyards, and quaint riverside towns. We sail pass the Lorelei Rock, where legend has it a fair maiden threw herself into the Rhine in despair over a faithless lover and was transformed into a siren who lured fishermen to destruction. We stop at the winemaking town of Rüdesheim am Rhein. Here you can lose yourself in its cobbled streets; visit Siegfrieds Music Museum or take the cable car up high above the vineyards to the Niederwald Monument to experience fantastic views across the Rhine Valley.

Wine Tasting (Day 6)

In the afternoon, we sample five different types of wine from the Middle Rhine Valley. The tasting will take place in the hotel cellars or in its sister hotel.
