Top Mainz Dining Experiences

We had a wine tasting for just for the 2 of us in the underground cellar. Jerome was excellent at explaining the diverse regions with the different slopes and the climate conditions of the different regions. We tried a range of wines and i really enjoyed a Sparkling Reisling Brut and a Pinot from the winery house Branewell.

The wine tasting was amazing our guide was so knowledgeable and gave a brief but detailed history of the art of wine making in Germany. We sampled some amazing wine and learned so much! Definitely would recommend this tour. Was 10/10!

Jerome was so knowledgeable. We had a great time well worth a visit. All the wines we tried were great. Lovely evening. Thankyou Jerome

Highly recommended. Jerome was a super nice host and told us a lot about the wine city of Mainz. Also the wines were super delicious.

Very knowledgeable about Mainz and the wines in the region. Very nice wines. We had expected however a little more on the food site. Overall worth a recommendation.

Very delicious wines and equally friendly host. We learned a lot about local wine.

Jerome was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable - but also very personable (and perfect English). We had several tastings and locally-sourced (delicious) snacks. He gave us historical context for everything we tasted. And bonus - the whole experience is in a really cool wine cellar a few levels below ground (ask about that history as well - as Americans, it was quite interesting to us). I highly recommend!

Amazing time, Jerome was super knowledgeable and was willing to take time to answer any questions and explain everything he could when it came to German/Mainz wines.

The wine tasting in the renovated historic cellar in Mainz was fabulous. Jérôme was very knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as the wine making regions in Germany. The local snacks were great pairings with the assortment of wines. Had a lovely evening!

My sister and I ended up having two tours with him over two days.The first was the Exclusive Wine & Food Tasting in Historic Cellar in Mainz. From the very first moment, he had us hooked with his knowledge and enthusiasm for German wine. The wine he picked for us to try was local and delicious. The food he had for us to sample was equally as good (My favorite was the dip... or the game sausage... I honestly can't decide). We learned so much about German wine and we left the tasting with our minds stuffed with new knowledge and excited for the next days adventure.The following day Jerome took us out into the Rheingau for 3 different stops. The first was at Eberbach Abbey (established 1136!) as still producing wine to this day, albeit with a corporation as an owner instead of the church. We toured the old monastery, which was thrilling and then sampled their white wines. I loved the charm of the place.The second place was a charming little wine store in Rüdesheim. We ordered our lunch here (I highly recommend their charcutier plate). We truly enjoyed the wine tasting here: They had wonderful little specialized wine dispensers that are operated by a coin (that you get at the front). There were 7 rooms and I don't remember how many dispensers per room. We each chose 5 wines to try with Jerome's input. I think my favorite was the Pinot grape I had never heard of before, the Pinot Madeleine.After a truly delightful time and lunch, we departed for our third and final stop, Georg Breuer, also in Rüdesheim. The wines were wonderful, with all the crispness you expect from Germany. We got to see the cellar as well.Our two tours with Jerome were wonderful! He is well worth the money and I can't recommend him enough. Everything was perfect. I can't wait to go back and hire him for more tours (I'd like to explore more of the Pinot Madeleine).Thanks Jerome!

We can not say enough good things about Jerome, his knowledge of wine, and the amazing cellar space in which he hosts wine tasting....we visited Mainz for the Christmas Markets and decided to include a tasting with BottleStops... what a great choice. If you're apprehensive about any language barrier, fear not, his English is excellent. Jerome will be on speed dial for our return to the region!

My husband, daughter, son in law and myself booked the wine tasting tour on our last day in Germany. I wish we had done the tour at the start of our trip. Jerome was so welcoming and taught us more about German wine than we will ever be able to remember. The wine cellar is very unique venue and definitely adds to the experience. Jerome shared his extensive knowledge about wine, wine culture and the agriculture aspects of growing the grapes in a very accessible way. We would take the tour again, if we are back in Mainz.

This was a wonderful experience. Jerome is very knowledgeable and we were offered various wines from the Mainz region - asking with some tasty snacks. I didn't think I liked Rieslings but I'm going home with a new friend!

Very informative, interesting tasting in a very cool cellar. Historical, cultural and wine-related information. And the wine was very good, too!

Brilliant private tour in and around the Middle Rhine with Jerome. Beautiful scenes, amazing wine and a great guide. Thank you, Jerome.

The location was amazing because it is in a cellar. The tasting was a lot of fun, and we learned a lot about local wines. We took the recommendations and bought a local store in Mainz.
