5.00We’re grateful to Carl for introducing us to wineries and restaurants we never would have visited on our own. Thanks for the three great days!

5.00Carl was awesome and anticipated our every need including some snacks for breakfast. He was amazingly flexible when stated we would like to see a castle on this our trip. He knew of a great one that also had wine. Based on our wine preferences, he was able to suggest some great wines that matched our tastes while also introducing us to some varietals we hadn't experienced before. We were able to meet some of the winery owners. They were very welcoming and proud to share their wines with us. Would definitely book with Carl again in the future.
Wine tour extravaganza!

5.00This was a tour to be remembered. Carl picked us up in our own private transportation and welcomed us with some Brut to begin our journey. We headed to 3 different wineries to sample all the different types of wine produced in the Rhine Region. Carl was a wine expert and was wonderful in explaining all the different type of wine we sampled. I never knew so many different wines were produced in the is region. We had ample time to take many pictures of this beautiful region. This tour was well worth the price and I will plan on doing it again the next time I travel to Germany!
Great tour

One of the best tours I’ve taken

5.00What an amazing tour! Carl is wonderful- he created a fun, light hearted tour for us in a region we hadn’t explored. No way would we have had near the same experience on our own. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine, and he is on great terms with everyone we met, making the experience that much richer. Lunch was great. We enjoyed talking with the two women running the restaurant in a charming small town, learning more about local culture from them. The vineyard views were stunning. And the wines were fantastic. Beyond giving great tours, Carl seems like someone who cares deeply about wine and the Rhine Valley wine community. We would absolutely take this tour again.
Amazing experience!!

5.00My Rhine Valley wine tour was an absolute delight! Carl is an exceptional guide... his passion and warmth made for an unforgettable experience. He shared his deep knowledge of the region's history and winemaking traditions, making every stop fascinating and enriching. We visited three amazing wineries, each offering a unique atmosphere and an impressive selection of rieslings, pinot noirs, and other local varietals to savor. Carl’s connections with the local wineries ensured we were treated like royalty, with exclusive tastings and behind-the-scenes access. Thank you, Carl!!
