Experience Mainz in its quietest and most atmospheric season: On the WinterWalk, your friendly guide will take you on a 1.5-hour tour through the narrow, winter-lit streets of Mainz's Old Town from late November to late February – mostly off the usual tourist routes and past corners that even many Mainz locals don't know about.
Along the way, you will taste two wines that we have grown and matured exclusively by regional winemakers – wines that you won't find anywhere else. In addition, at the end of the tour, you will be warmed up with a homemade mulled wine from the winemaker, prepared with real spices instead of mulled wine extract.
Between the wine and the mulled wine, your guide will share history that you can really experience: from the Romans through the Middle Ages, past Fastnacht (Carnival), and on to the French. There has always been a lot going on in Mainz. Authentic, but entertaining and personal, and guaranteed not to be from the guidebook.
Itinerary: Meeting point at Leichhof. From there, you’ll walk through the old town with a total of three tasting stops (two wines and one winemaker's mulled wine). The tour takes about 1.5 hours and takes place in all weathers – if you wrap up warm, the WinterWalk is a pleasure even when it's cold.
The WinterWalk is an independent, purely seasonal winter format from WineWalk Mainz and is only offered from the end of November to the end of February.
