Luxembourg and the Moselle valley
The casemates, Luxembourg's old town and the Moselle vineyards at Remich: a full day out with a private driver from Brussels. Book your day trip today.
Luxembourg and the Moselle valley
Perched on its rocky spur, Luxembourg City is layered with history: casemates carved into the sandstone of the Bock, the Chemin de la Corniche overlooking the Alzette valley, the European district of Kirchberg. The old town and its fortifications have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994 — a morning's drive from Brussels.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere changes completely: off to the Moselle and its Wine Route, where riesling, auxerrois and crémant mature within sight of the German bank. In Remich, you step into a cellar, raise a glass — and leave the wheel to your driver for the journey home.
This day of contrasts appeals as much to heritage lovers as to business travellers keen to make the most of a stay in Brussels. Upper town, vineyards, riverbanks: you decide the balance; your driver plans the route and keeps an eye on the cellars' opening hours.

Planning your day trip
Can we focus the whole day on wine?+
Yes. Some clients cut short their time in the capital to visit more cellars between Schengen and Grevenmacher, tasting crémant, riesling or pinot gris. Book slots with the estates that appeal to you; your driver links the stops along the Wine Route and stows your cases of wine in the boot.
Does the driver provide commentary during the visits?+
They make everything easier — access, opening hours, good places to go — but are not a certified guide. You explore the Bock Casemates on your own, and the Moselle cellars present their wines themselves. Being multilingual, your driver will gladly help you communicate with your hosts if needed.
What is the maximum group size for this day trip?+
Seven passengers at most in a Van or Van Business, with plenty of room for luggage and cases of wine; for two or three, a sedan is ample. Tell us the make-up of your group when you book, through whichever channel you prefer, and the right vehicle will be confirmed straight away.
