Franconian Wine Country: Private Bocksbeutel Winery Tour

Discover why Franconia's distinctive flask-shaped Bocksbeutel bottle is one of Germany's most treasured wine traditions on an exclusive private tour of a premium family estate in the Marktheidenfeld wine corridor.

What to expect

The winemaker or a senior member of the family walks you through the estate's barrel cellar, explaining the unique Frankenwein tradition and the geology that shapes their wines. You taste a curated flight of five to six wines — from crisp Silvaner to aged Spätburgunder — paired with local bread, smoked meats, and aged Franconian cheese. Each bottle is available to purchase and carry back to the ship.
