“This was one of the highlights of our holiday. Our guide effortlessly switched between German and English for the group, making everyone feel included. 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!”

Cruise Cochem to Beilstein on the Moselle, enjoy a cellar wine tasting with tarte flambée, then return for liqueur sampling and a 0.2L bottle.

“Der Tagesausflug war ok. Erst Schifffahrt, danach Weinprobe mit Flammkuchen und optional Zeit zum verweilen in Beilstein. Danach Rückfahrt mit dem Schiff nach Cochem und dort abschließende Likörprobe. An die Infos, wo sich die Wein- und Likörprobe befindet war nur schwer zu kommen. Außerdem stelle ich mir unter eine Probe etwas anderes vor, als nur 3 Wein- bzw. 3 Likörgläser vorgesetzt zu bekommen.”

Cochem to Bruttig by Moselle boat, then a winemaker-led vineyard hike with tastings and a hearty snack platter. Small group.
