" Gift from Bacchus...
            ...mountains with wine in magnificent row"

Decanius Magnus Ausonius
Roman poet in the year 386 in his poem "Mosella"

Pulchra Villa - a beautiful ancient roman country house gave its name to the place. Its pitoresc location on a peninsula of the River Mosel appeared already in the poems of the Roman poet Ausonius. 2000 years ago the Romans brought the viticulture to the Mosel region; it shaped landscape, art, culture, architecture and humans. Nowadays one can still find witnesses of this extremely rich history at every step and turn.
