A nice tour to get used to and with wine. The sheer number of vines makes you dizzy; if you're not careful when tasting, you'll quickly get really dizzy 😵 🍷🤪.

Nevertheless: tried wine at Divino in Nordheim, couldn't take it with us because of transport problems.😉

A beautiful tour to get acquainted with and with wine. The sheer number of vines is enough to make you dizzy; if you're not careful during the tasting, you'll quickly get really dizzy 😵 🍷🤪.

Nevertheless: I tried some wine at Divino in Nordheim, but couldn't take it with me due to transport problems.😉
