We booked this on line about three weeks before we arrived in Mainz. The pre booking email exchange with Jerome was perfect with a few questions we had answered accurately and promptly. And with humour.
The day before the tour we received another email confirming meeting instructions. Jerome arrived 15 minutes early for the pickup and we departed on time in a quite luxurious VW that was really easy to enter and exit/ Plenty of legroom.

The day exceeded expectations by a long way. We had the opportunity to taste several hundred wines and met many of their makers. Jerome was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, charming and totally flexible within the framework of his well planned day.
He provided us with a wine course on wheels along with history, geography and language lessons. There were only three of us on the tour. A young American wine science masters graduate from UC Davis and us two with a lifetime working with wine in Australia. We had a million questions and Jerome answered them all. 
I could not recommend his offers highly enough. The six hours went way too fast and we agreed it was excellent value for money.
