Thank you for your arrangement. Thank you for your arrangement. We did enjoy Winery trip during Covid19 situation. How good, let’s say 7, if you have English tour, it should be 10. About Winetourism, booking system indirectly with Winery is rather complicated however thanks to your additional effort for communication by WhatsApp, eventually everything have been done smoothly.

I am really grateful to you and the whole team Thank you so much for organizing the trip to Ökologisches Weingut Hubert Lay. Me and my friend would like to give 10 out of 10 to the tour and wine tasting at Ökologisches Weingut Hubert Lay. The host were amazing, we spend around 3 hours, roam around wine yards, got to know so much information about red and white wines. Later we saw their manufacturing, and that was really great experience. We have tasted around 12 wines, the host were really patient and nice to explain the details about different wines. And finally we bought several wines from there. Experience…

Wonderful short trip I'm not a wine connoisseur by any stretch, being more of a beer guy. But the wines I tasted here all were very tasty....something excellent to enjoy your meal with, or just sip on with friends and loved ones. The owner is a great guy by the way, who made an out of towner with his family from the US feel very welcome. Next time I'm in the Mosel Valley region, I definitely want to stop by again. Great setting too, with beautiful hills in the valley, bicyclists everywhere, and small towns. Great stop on the way to Trier!

What is the most famous German wine region?

The most famous German wine region is the Mosel Valley, or Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. Located along the Mosel River and its tributaries, this region is renowned for producing some of Germany's finest Riesling wines. The steep vineyard slopes, mineral-rich soils, and cool climate create optimal conditions for the cultivation of high-quality Riesling grapes. The Mosel Valley's wines are highly regarded for their exceptional purity, vibrant acidity, and distinctively aromatic and fruity characteristics.

Ernst Loosen is regarded as the king of German wine, particularly Riesling. He is a highly esteemed winemaker and owner of the renowned Dr. Loosen estate in the Mosel region.

Trockenbeerenauslese is a sweet dessert wine made from individually selected, botrytis-affected grapes. These grapes are left on the vine to dehydrate, resulting in intensely concentrated flavors and high levels of natural sweetness. Trockenbeerenauslese wines from Germany are highly prized for their complexity, balance, and exceptional aging potential.
