Carl’s tour of the Mosel was the best wine tour we have experienced. He was a wonderful host, providing snacks and treats upon arrival and in between stops. He is very knowledgeable, and through the tastings that he arranged , he was able to demystify German Riesling for us. He exposed us to both a larger more established producer and a smaller “garage” style producer (we tasted wine in a shed with the owner – who hand labeled bottles for us). Carl also arranged a lovely lunch in a beautiful river front restaurant with an amazing bottle of wine. Overall a fantastic experience

The day spent with Carl driving us through the beautiful Mosel Valley was beyond perfect. Carl was very attuned to our likes in Riesling wines and worked in wineries and even a special treat at lunch that matched these likes. He picked us up at Mainz Train Station and had excellent breakfast breads. The first winery we went to was a small one on the banks of the Mosel, but the owner (- 12?? generation ) took all of the time in the world to let us taste over 20 wines as we compared flavors and notes. We explained how in the US we don't get find older Rieslings, and were treated to some special older samples. We then visited a winery high on the hills overlooking a bend in the Mosel and enjoyed more wines. Lunch was simple but very tasty with a special treat of a 48 year old Riesling! Carl also made stops for photo ops and the one we both love is the photo Carl took of us under the Piesporter Goldtropfchen sign. We served wine from the vineyard at our wedding. Bottom line, just book a tour with Carl, you will be SOOO happy you did!

Karl picked us up at our Trier hotel and drove us into the beautiful Mosel wine region. Our tasting experiences gave us a glimpse of the tradition of generations of family wine makers and an innovative new producer in the valley. We also enjoyed a surprising wine pairing lunch!

Carl met us at the hotel with a bottle of sekt. It was delightful. We had a chatty drive to the first winery. There we got to taste a LOT of wine. All of it good. We were there for quite a while. We got back in the car and made a detour into a vineyard to experience the steepness of the vines. The weather was perfect. A lunch stop at a BBQ where we had a very old bottle of Riesling and BBQ ribs - a perfect match! Who knew?!?! Then on to the next vineyard. Much smaller but equally as good. Did a substantial tasting. Then the drive home. Carl is going to ship our purchases. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to take us pretty much anywhere. I would sign up with him again.

Slight change of plans! Carl was very communicative, he had another couple who wanted to do a tour the same day, and we ended up in the Pfalz region. As soon as Carl picked us up, it was a good time. We went to two fabulous wineries where we sampled wines from different vintages and soils and compared them. My wife and I are not well-versed in wine, but the couple with us was. We all had a great time, and Carl joined us for a beer afterward. Then he kindly shipped our wine back for us so we wouldn’t have to lug 7 bottles back on an airline. Excellent wine, excellent people, overall a “grape” experience.

Our guide was enthusiastic & knowledgeable. He took us to interesting wineries. It included 2 wineries plus a delicious lunch. We enjoyed the introduction to many Rieslings!

Carl picked the 3 of us up and we started our day with a very tasty Sket to start our day! We headed to the south Mosel and visited Daniel at his home and winery. Daniel shared about 10 wines with us and gave us a tour of 2 of his vines. 1 was up on the mountain and we got to enjoy a very nice Red Riesling while taking in some beautiful views of the valley! Daniel was incredible & can’t wait to get some Sweet Child 2021! Next we headed to another much bigger winery & tried about 12 more wines. Much drier wines but still good. Enjoyed a delicious local lunch with 2 more amazing wines! Finished the day at a newer and small wine cellar. Jan gave us a tour of his cellar and we got to try some wines that were still fermenting. Overall it was an incredible day & Carl helped me fulfill my dream of tasting & purchasing wine in the Mosel valley! Highly recommend you book a trip with Carl. Be sure to tell him what kind of wine you like!

Don’t hesitate - just book! This is a fantastic wine tour with Carl, a super dedicated, fun and enthusiastic wine guy who cares (and loves wine puns). We booked a two day tour. From the moment Carl picked us up with a bottle of sparkling wine we knew we were in for a treat. Being geeky wine enthusiasts, we had emailed with a list of requests beforehand (natural, organic, biodynamic, vertical tastings etc.) and Carl more than met the brief. We visited four independent vineyards in the Mosel/Rheingau region, each of a different character and some family-owned, all offering something unique. We had our favourites but Carl truly put in the effort to think about what we might like and showcased something interesting about German wine with each stop. We discovered a love for old Rieslings (ie “old gold”) and were fortunate enough to find some rare gems. Extra kudos also for the lunch spots on both days - the first day’s lunch featured some amazing wild boar pasta and the second was a German grill house with the best pork chop and sausage I have ever tasted. Also plenty of opportunity to try different wine on the lunch stops too! It was awesome to see Carl putting in the effort to build relationships with the vineyard owners, bringing them bottles of wine to try, rather than treating this as a purely commercial endeavour. He also gifted us a bottle of pet nat, just because he wanted us to try how good it could be. Wine-aside, Carl also offered up some tips on where to stay and eat on our other stops in Germany. Truly a personalised and fantastic tour, thank you Carl!
