Kupferberg - Sekt Producers

Mainz is know for its sparkling wine maker Kupferberg so mom booked us on a tour to check it out. At first I was not convinced that it would be interesting, but I was wrong. The storage cellars go seven levels down, which makes Kuperberg the only winery in the world with that many levels of cellars.

They don't let you go down all the levels, but it sure was an interesting tour below ground.


There were so many tunnels, it would have been very easy to get lost. At the end of the tour was a sparkling wine tasting of three different sparkling wines. You can't call them champagne, since Sekt is not made from grape out of the Champagne region in France. I was glad that mom was the designated driver, since we were all feeling just fine after the tasting :-)
