Wine Tasting Team Events in Frankfurt & the Rheingau
Frankfurt sits at the gateway to the Rheingau, one of Germany's most celebrated wine regions. Your team can enjoy an in-city tasting at a Frankfurt wine bar from €39 per person, or take a full-day trip to the Rheingau vineyards from €79 per person including transport.

In-City vs Rheingau Day Trip
In-city tastings take place in Frankfurt wine bars, hotel function rooms, or private dining spaces. A sommelier brings a curated selection of 5–7 wines paired with cheese, charcuterie, or small plates. Duration is typically 1.5–2 hours. Best for after-work events or short team activities that fit into a larger programme.
Rheingau day trips are the premium option. A private bus takes your team 40 minutes west to the Rhine valley, where you visit 2–3 wine estates, walk through vineyards, and taste 8–12 wines. Lunch at a vineyard restaurant is typically included. The landscape alone makes it worth the trip — steep, south-facing slopes above the Rhine with views stretching for miles.
For teams that want the best of both worlds, a combined Apfelwein and wine tasting starts with Frankfurt's signature apple wine, then moves to Rheingau Riesling. A contrast tasting with real local character.
Wine & Paint
The wine & paint format is a hit for mixed teams: a professional artist guides you through a painting while you sip curated wines. No talent required — the result is always fun. €55–75/person for 2.5–3 hours.
Food Pairing Options
Most wine tastings include some form of food pairing. Options range from simple cheese and bread boards (€10–15/person extra) to elaborate multi-course menus matched to each wine (€40–60/person extra). For Rheingau day trips, vineyard restaurants serve regional Hessian cuisine alongside estate wines.
For larger events, consider combining the tasting with a private catering setup at your venue. A sommelier can work alongside a private chef for a truly premium experience.
