Kupferberg Sparkling Wine Cellars
Kupferberg Sektkellerei
A long-established sparkling wine producer in Mainz, with a cellar of up to seven levels reaching Roman-era foundations, where guided tours end with tastings.
The Kupferberg sparkling wine house was founded in 1850 on the Kupferberg hillside southwest of Mainz. Beneath it lies a network of up to seven cellar levels, totaling several kilometers, some dating back to Roman times, which once stored millions of bottles. Guided tours visit the deepest cellars, the 19th-century “Traditional Hall” and exhibits on the history of sparkling wine advertising, and end with a tasting of several sparkling wines. Advance booking is required, as tours are mostly for groups and weekend slots. The fee is about EUR 15 to 20. The Kupferberg Terrace restaurant above offers city views.
