The tastings are by appointment, but there is a wine garden that opens at 5 during the week. We showed up not knowing the hours, and Hans came up to our car and asked if we needed help. Next thing we know he's opening up his tasting room. Excellent Riesling and Pinot noir wines. The place is right on Rhein and has a relaxing garden atmosphere.

Die Familie Becker führte es durch die Wirren der Zeit, meisterte das Auf und Ab zweier Weltkriege und gelangte schließlich mit Erfolg ins Heute, wo die größte Herausforderung inzwischen die Schnelllebigkeit zu sein scheint. Diesem Phänomen begegnet das Weingut mit seiner ganz eigenen, überaus erfolgreichen Strategie: Dem Wein seine Zeit lassen. Trockene und gereifte Rieslinge sind heute das Aushängeschild von J.B. Becker. Aber auch beeindruckende Spätburgunder gehören ebenso zum Portfolio wie Rieslinge mit traditionell leichter Restsüße, die auch hervorragende Speisebegleiter sind. Heute, nach 125 Jahren Tradition, in denen man immer konsequent der eigenen Überzeugung treu geblieben ist, begeistern sich darum gerade viel junge Sommeliers und Kenner der Weinszene für jene Tropfen, die oft erst nach Jahren der Reife die Keller des Weinguts verlassen und vor allem aufgrund ihrer Eigenständigkeit überzeugen. Was kaum verwundert, denn mit jedem Jahr (oder besser: Jahrzehnt) der Reife schlägt sich eine weitere bemerkenswerte Facette nieder.

We had a wonderful experience here yesterday. It's very cute and cool in here (very meaningful on a…read morehot day). Tim, the tasting room guide, walked us through what they had available for wine, and what we could taste. There's no charge for tastings - they are trying to help you find the right wine/fit - and you can purchase bottles from there. If debating at all what to try - the sparkling Riesling was one of our favorites - and totally unique. Well worth the stop - we left with several wines - highly recommend.

I can only review a wine tasting we attended in the vineyard itself, hosted by Rüdiger Kröber and…read morehis wife. We learned about the difficulties of horticulture on such steep slopes, the benefits of slate soil and, of course, the effects of bad (wet) weather on the vintage. Harvesting wine under these conditions takes years of experience and passion, which the Kröbers, with the whole family being involved in the business, definitely possess. The wines ranged from a sparkling wine to a sweet (white) wine - or wine from a late harvest, with the basis being the Riesling grape. Mr. Körber is very knowledgeable, and prices range from around €6 for a Rosé wine to €30 and €50 for a sweet and ice wine respectively, with most wines being very reasonably priced. You can order wine online, and book wine tastings at the vineyard (weather permitting) or in the cellars. It's a beautiful part of Germany and I can only recommend visiting, especially in autumn for the harvest festivities.
