Private Wine & Vineyard Immersion at Weingut Dr. Loosen

Step inside one of the Mosel's most celebrated estates for an intimate, expert-led tasting of world-class Rieslings in historic cellars. This is the bucket-list wine encounter the valley is famous for.

What to expect

You are welcomed into the historic Dr. Loosen winery, whose roots stretch back over 200 years, by a knowledgeable estate guide. The tasting moves through a curated flight of Prädikat Rieslings — Spätlese, Auslese, Trockenbeerenauslese — each tied to a specific slate-terraced vineyard above the Moselle. The pace is leisurely and conversational, with discussion of terroir, vintage character, and the winery's biodynamic philosophy. You leave with a deeper appreciation of why Mosel Riesling is considered among the finest white wine on earth.
