Excellent Experience - Highly Recommend - 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!

Likeable, competent and entertaining. 34Ä¥ - We learned a lot about wine. We had the daughter-in-law and her mother from the United States visit. They had wished to experience a wine tasting in a wine cellar. Since they both do not speak German, it was necessary to find a wine tasting in English. And we had made the right choice. Above the rooftops of Mainz, we first heard a lot about the historical significance of the state capital on the Kupferberg terrace. Then we were taken 5 floors down to a wine tasting room. There we were given several wines from Rheinhessen to taste with all sorts of anecdotes and with competent wine knowledge; there were also various snacks that were probably intended less for saturation than for taste neutralization before the next sample. This was very helpful because the samples were very different. Our visitors were just as enthusiastic as we who live in the vineyards of the Rhineland-Palatinate.

Early March in Mainz - 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!

Jerome was an amazing wine guide! - 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!
