Samantha Brown's Places to Love

Mainz, Wiesbaden And Rothenburg, Germany

In Germany's largest wine region, Mainz unfolds like a delightful Riesling. Samantha explores the ruins of a Roman amphitheater near a main train station and visits Eva Vollmer Winery, learning about the "future wine" movement. She enjoys German wine at Weinhaus Loesch, then travels to Wiesbaden to taste hot chocolate at Kunder Chocolateria, a family-owned shop. At the Wiesbaden Museum, she admires the largest Art Nouveau collection. Finally, she tours the fairy-tale town of Rothenburg, experiencing its medieval charm and visiting the Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas Shop, home to an impressive collection of authentic German Christmas decor.
