“What an amazing tour! Carl is wonderful- he created a fun, light hearted tour for us in a region we hadn’t explored. No way would we have had near the same experience on our own. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine, and he is on great terms with everyone we met, making the experience that much richer. Lunch was great. We enjoyed talking with the two women running the restaurant in a charming small town, learning more about local culture from them. The vineyard views were stunning. And the wines were fantastic. Beyond giving great tours, Carl seems like someone who cares deeply about wine and the Rhine Valley wine…”
