VinoWellness at the Mosel
A different kind of wine experience – wellness with the power of grapes
Wine therapy on the Mosel combines the pleasure of fine wine with exclusive wellness experiences. In selected wellness hotels and spa oases along the Mosel, guests are pampered with precious extracts from grape seeds and grape skins. This special form of wellness promotes deep relaxation and rejuvenation. A particular highlight is the barrique wine bath, where guests can enjoy a luxurious soak in warm wine.
What is vinotherapy?
Vinotherapy harnesses the natural power of grapes for the body, skin and soul – and is by no means a modern invention. Even the Greek physician Hippocrates used wine to treat fever and stomach ailments. In the Middle Ages, wealthy ladies used grape seed oil for skincare and to achieve a radiant complexion.
In the 1990s, vinotherapy was rediscovered in France. Scientists at the University of Bordeaux demonstrated that polyphenols from grape seeds have powerful antioxidant properties and combat free radicals. This discovery is regarded as the birth of modern vinotherapy.
Today, treatments on the Moselle utilise, amongst other things, ground grape seeds and cold-pressed grape seed oil. Whether in the form of a cream, a scrub or a massage – vinotherapy nourishes the skin, stimulates blood circulation and provides soothing relaxation for stressed bodies and minds.
Hotels offering VinoWellness packages
All along the Mosel, stylish hotels invite you to indulge in the soothing benefits of grapes – whether through an aromatic massage, a gentle exfoliation or a revitalising facial treatment. The combination of regional wine-growing tradition, modern spa standards and natural skincare creates an unrivalled experience of well-being. Alongside the spa experience, the unique atmosphere of the Mosel region is a delight: rolling vineyards and historic wine-growing villages provide the ideal backdrop for sustainable relaxation and inspiring moments of indulgence.
