Accolades in Traben-Trarbach

Traben-Trarbach in our guide is a Mosel town where 15 of 18 venues are wineries, and Riesling from steep slate is the common thread. The two exceptional wine programs belong to a restaurant and a bar, both with Star Wine List awards for 2026. That mix makes the scene read as a wine town first, with dining built around the estates and the river. Die Graifen serves a la carte Modern European fine dining under a glass roof by the river, with Riesling pairings from the estate vineyard at Weingut Dr. Melsheimer, where organic Mosel viticulture goes back over a century. Die Mosel pours over 200 Mosel wines, natural and conventional, with fusion tapas in a historic wine trader's villa. Steep-slope and steep-slate Riesling is the recurring focus among the estates named in our guide, with Falstaff winery ratings for 2026.
