He gave us plenty of room to ask questions, and the view over the vineyard was absolutely beautiful. He and his family were so likeable and welcoming. The wines were delicious, we enjoyed them so much that we took home four bottles. Oh and we could bring our dog too, that was not an issue at all. Thank you so much Weingut Arns!”

“1. Ticket Pickup & Boat Boarding We had pre-booked tickets, but the woman checking them by the boat was rude when we asked if we were in the right place. There was no clear signage or guidance, which made the start of the trip stressful. 2. Boat Ride & Walk to Winery None of the staff on the boat spoke English or knew where we were going. When we got off, there were no instructions on where to go. Even German-speaking guests were confused, and we all ended up walking without direction. 3. Winery Visit The vineyard owner was very welcoming and did their best to create a pleasant experience.…”

Ride through the Mosel’s steep Riesling hills near Trier with Carl’s guided tastings, regional lunch, and small-group comfort.

“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…”
