Jacob did a great job as tour director. This is not just a wine tasting tour, but a history tour as well, and he blended both activities together perfectly. He is entertaining and knowledgeable about the area. He genuinely loves what he does and it shows. I highly recommend this tour, you won't regret it!

Thanks so much for recommending BottleStops! Jacob is a beautiful name, but I’m quite happy with my given name ‘Jérôme’ 😀. Thanks for pointing this out: I love this job! 🍾 And thanks again for travelling with BottleStops.

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!

We were staying in Frankfurt and it was an easy train ride to Mainz. We were picked up at the train station with no trouble. The tour itself was fun, educational and we tasted a lot of great wines. We went to different locations and were able to see a lot of the region. If you’re interested in wines, I highly recommend taking this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Jerome was a FANTASTIC and personable tour guide for the wine tour of Rheingau. Jerome accommodated the group in their needs / wants and provided incredible detail regarding the Rheingau area, wineries, and wines. This would be a day trip I would recommend to my family when visiting.

Danke, liebe Anne - thanks so much for your review. We indeed try to adjust the tasting as we understand more about our guests preferences and interests. Have a great trip onwards.
DEREK_M, Jun 2024
What a fantastic tour.
We were met promptly by Jerome, an absolute gentleman, at the meeting point. Immaculate and very comfortable luxury vehicle.
Spent a wonderful day visiting the Rheingau, castles, abbeys and several wine tastings, what's not to love.
Very interesting and informative as Jerome has a real passion and knowledge, both about his
country and wine.
We have travelled on many wine tours and this was the best, would thoroughly recommend.

Alexander_H, Jun 2024
This was an awesome wine tour and I've done quite a few. The tour started with a visit to a historic monastery that now operates as a winery. Next was a wine tasting and lunch at a restaurant in a little village along the Rhine. Finally, we took a ferry across the Rhine and visited a really lovely family operated winery.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Alex - thank's so much for your review, delighted you enjoyed the day with BottleStops!... safe and enjoyable travels onward!
Christine_B, May 2024
The tour was wonderful! Jerome was so knowledgeable about the history of the monastery and German wines, of course, and helped us select the best wines to taste according to our preferences. The RheinWelt tasting vaults were really fun, with delicious cheeses and meats for lunch. We loved it!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thanks heaps for you review - glad our BottleStops took you to the right spots!
Mary_D, May 2024
This tour was definitely a hilight of our trip! Jerome was a fantastic guide, teaching us about the history of winemaking and the particular wineries while we sampled many wines. There were only four guests on the tour so it felt very personal, and every stop felt so unique. Everyone at the wineries as well as the stop for lunch were friendly and knowledgeable. My only wish was that I could explore for longer! I would definitely go on another tour with Jerome at the next opportunity and also recommend his tour!
Response from Host, May 2024
Danke, danke, danke for your review! Thanks big times for having chosen BottleStops - very happy we could provide you a great time.
Catherine_S, May 2024

Jerome was an excellent tour guide. He communicated well and picked us up on time. We visited 3 different wineries- all with a different vibe- and had a delicious lunch of cheese, meats and wine! A great and memorable experience for the money!
Pamela_P, Oct 2023
Great way to explore the wine region around Mainz! Excellent tour guide and diverse wine tasting experience. Definitely recommend!
Jacqueline_R, Jul 2023
We had an excellent day with Jerome. The trip was well thought out and the visit to the monastery was a real treat. The second stop was really unique and had a great choice for lunch.
Communication before the trip was prompt and directions for the pick up were clear and easy to follow. Transport is really comfortable.
A great day exploring the region and enjoying the wine.
Jerome is a real wine expert and we would highly recommend!
