Briedel grapes on the Mosel River


I lead a photography club and we took an excursion to grape fields near Briedel on the Mosel River. Most grapes were already picked, but it was still beautiful with the Fall colors.



There were a few grapes left.
We learned a lot about growing grapes. Here's how the grape vines are prepared and tied for the winter.

We took a ferry across the river.





Some grapes are grown in slate.
On the way home, a couple of us stopped at this overlook. This was when I decided I need to bring my family back to this place to hike.
