Overview

  • Discover why a simple glass of wine in Mainz is the strongest social equaliser. This is not a tour about terroir, grape varieties, or tasting notes. It is a journey into the 'wine tavern' as a radically democratic space. Accompany the culinary expert Marco and the local Marta on their discovery tour. Experience how a 600-year-old wine culture overcomes class barriers, makes strangers friends, and shapes the open Rheinhessen mentality. From hidden historical cellars to a huge weekly market breakfast, you will learn how to move in these spaces, what to order, and why the people of Mainz consider sharing a table a supreme civic duty.
