Excellent way of exploring German wines - Had an excellent tour! We did the tasting in Rheingau, the pick-up point at the train station in Mainz was easy to find, and our tour guide, Jerome, did an excellent job. Our tour included three stops, and we learned a lot about the history of wine making in Germany, and also about the local regions as well. After the tour, Jerome was also very helpful in suggesting restaurants and other recommendations in the Mainz area. We highly recommend Bottlestops if you are in the Mainz or Frankfurt area and want to explore German wines!

Wonderful Tour and Experience!! - Our Bottlestops tour through the Rhine River Valley was an unforgettable experience and truly the highlight of our trip to Germany. We visited several wineries, each unique and memorable, and even with one family member who has mobility challenges, the tour was accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Our guide, Jerome, was exceptional. He brought the region’s history to life and deepened our appreciation for Riesling with his expert knowledge and storytelling. At each stop, he made sure we were engaged, comfortable, and having a great time. The final stop, where we had the chance to taste ice wine, was the perfect ending to an already incredible day. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it’s clear that Jerome takes pride in creating a meaningful experience for his guests. We’re so thankful for Jerome’s time and care—this tour was the perfect blend of education, scenery, and world-class wine.

Knowledgeable guide, comfortable tour, well organized - I highly recommend Jerome and Bottlestops! I’ve visited wine countries around the globe and Jerome’s tour was one of the best. The trip was well organized and Jerome was great with communication and flexibility. His van was new and very comfortable. He was quite knowledgeable of the wine and the region. The tour was at a good pace and we covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed.

Great Germain Wine Tour - I did two tours with Jérôme across two days. The whole experience was great from communication to all the stops we did in Rheingau and Rheinhessen. The van was comfortable and Jérôme is a great guide and host. The wineries were very enjoyable and especially in Germany, it's helpful to have a scheduled visit instead of just dropping in. I highly recommend Jérôme and BottleStops for a great wine tour experience!

Fantastic! - This tour is 100% worth it. From the start Jérôme was an incredible and knowledgeable guide. He reached out prior to our experience to make sure we were all set and provided meeting instructions. Throughout the tour he was an incredible host, provided information beyond our expectations and changed the way we think about wines. We got to see beautiful spaces- including a 1000 year old monastery- try incredible wines, and had a delicious lunch along the way. This tour and the info we learned will stick with us forever. Highly recommend!
