Excellent wines and an excellent host - We could not have had a better time! Jerome is such an excellent host - knowledgeable and passionate about German wines and wine culture and its history. The cellar is such a cool venue and the wines were all excellent, each selected from local wineries with their own stories. Highly recommend for a date night or for a group activity!

Very knowledgeable and informative tour leader who can also customize wine tour experiences. - We had Jerome customize 3 wine tours for us of the Mosel, the Rheinheissen, and the Pfalz while we were on a Viking River Cruise. He met us at the port in each stop and took is to several wineries each day. There was quite a variety and some unique styles that made this extremely informative. We had a few beginners and several lifelong experts and everyone raved about these experiences.
We all highly recommend this as great German wine learning experience.

Highlight of our trip to Mainz! - This was hands down the highlight of our visit to Mainz. Jerome was an incredible tour guide who was personable, professional and so knowledgeable about the history of Mainz, the wines we were tasting and the wine making process. Going down into the cellars was such a magical experience and it was really great to taste the variety of wines from the region. Jerome helped us to understand how the wines were produced and encouraged us to expand our palates. He taught us that three sips was the magical number to determine the true taste of the wine and it was a tip we will continue to use forever as it definitely made a difference. There was not a wine we tasted that we did not like. When initially booking the trip, we were worried we would not understand since we speak English, but Jerome had impeccable English and that was something we never should have worried about. Overall, it was such a fabulous experience and something we will remember forever. We wish Jerome and BottleStops was in all wine regions of the world!

A very enjoyable wine experience - Jerome was a very hospitable host and shared a wealth of knowledge about the local history of wine in Mainz. We were a very small group and got to try 6 different wines. He offered tasty snacks to pair with the different wines; offering insights to how some of the wines were made. It was a very enjoyable experience and I’d definitely recommend it.

Great way to spend an evening. - We had a great experience at this tasting. Jerome is very knowledgable and passionate about local wines and presented them in an enjoyable and informative manner. The wines were good, we learned a lot, and we have some searching to do in the US to find some of these wines.
