A great experience - We had a great time! Jérôme was very knowledgeable and friendly, and provided a great combination of expertise about wine and the history and traditions of wine in the region. The cellar itself was also fascinating and an experience in itself. Can definitely recommend!

Sehr geile Winetour! - As a mostly red wine minded couple we curiously enrolled in this German wine tour hosted by Jérôme from Bottlestops. After an interesting historical overview as an introduction, we descended to the wine cellar accompanied by a fun and small group for our wine tasting. The wine cellar is amazing and Jérôme has a great balance between fun and making sure you leave with more wine knowledge then with which you entered. Wines followed up each other nicely with well selected bites to accompany the flavours. In short, well done and we would definitely recommend it to others!

Great introduction to German Wines - Fun,informative and very interactive... An activity that delivers more than what we had expected. Our host Jerome was knowledgeable and very passionate about the region and the wines he showcased. The venue was unique and the snacks provided was tasty especially the sausage. If you looking for a new wine experience couple with good company, then this is "The One"

Great introduction to German Wines - What an awesome experience. Our guide Jerome was knowledgeable and answered all the various questions the group had. He made us all feel comfortable and after the 2 hours we all felt a group of friends enjoying an excursion together. The snacks especially the sausage was great! Last but not the least, our venue was a surprise, deep underground an exquisite space to experience the evening. Thank you Jerome, my husband and I had a lovely evening discovering German wines and your love for Mainz region.

Regional wine tasting in a historic cellar - If you’re looking to try regional wines surrounded by historic cellar walls then this is the tasting for you! You spend the entirety of the tasting below ground with a knowledgeable guide to provide you a brief history of the region, and a selection of different wines, both white and red. Being able to taste multiple wines, along with some cheeses and meats made for a great opportunity to try different pairings. The overall experience was a highlight of my trip!
