Weingut Dr. Loosen

Do email to reserve as they are very responsive with emails. Arrived at the Dr loosen with is 2mins north of Bernkastel-Kues. Parking is on the street off the property. A buzz of the door bell on the outer wall and we were ushered in. Interior is more German minimalistic style with various tables set up for wine tasting with shelves of wine around. Our wine tasting was done by Naomi who is from Oregon,US who married a family member. Good introduction to terroir and wines as well as different styles from different villages of the Mosel as well as taste structure . Her inside knowledge of the wines and the production , with good visual aids from blown up photos and samples of actually slates and rocks. Excellent wine tasting of 5 wines. We discussed the different types of classification as well : 1G, GG and also fein herb. Go for the alte rebe which means old grape vines which usually are the more high quality wines. Highly enjoyable experience. It cost 15 euros and you can buy the wine off their price list.

We stayed in the guesthouse at Dr Loosen and loved it. Wonderful room, luxurious bathroom with a walk out patio with a great view of the model river. Great breakfast included with eggs made to order. There are two flights of stairs to your room, if that is a concern to you. It is a short walk to the town with nice restaurants and tasting rooms. Oh, and the best reason to stay there , of course are there wonderful wines , which can be tasted for a small fee, right below! Make a reservation to taste. A fantastic experience!

What a great wine tasting experience. Azul helped us though or entire tasting experience explaining the various wines, regions, soil types and micro-climates that affect the Dr. Loosen wines. Her expertise and enthusiasm really helped become enthusiastic and excited to try each new bottle she brought out. I highly recommend checking out this great tasting room. Don't forget to look at the decor for mosaics of wine making. Email ahead to guarantee availability.

We've visited Dr. Loosen in October 2022. They have a nice selection of wines. And they can answer all of the questions you have. Highly recommended! But it would be nice to add a tour around winery or something similar.

This review concerns the place and experience, not the wine. Beautiful estate, only accessible for tasting by (paid) appointment. You pay €15 for 5 wines to taste, with remarkably small portions. We (4 people) were seated at a table with a total of 7 people. An employee told us a somewhat generic story about the wines but was otherwise friendly. After the tasting, we wanted to try some additional wines to decide what to purchase. We were told that we could taste 2 additional wines but would be charged for a more expensive arrangement. We agreed, as we were curious and motivated to buy more. It turned out that for those 2 additional sips (that’s all they were), we were charged an extra €10 per person. The lady helping us at that point made some clearly negative remarks about our group to one of her colleagues as she was getting our wines. Overall, we experienced our visit as rather unpleasant and not hospitable. It was only made worse by the stinginess of the portions and the lack of flexibility in allowing additional tastings. We visited quite a few other estates in the region, covering a wide spectrum of wine quality—all of which we would recommend over this one.

Amzing wines are being made here. The young lady tour guide was exceptionally educates and aware of every single detail from viticulture to wine making techniques to wine laws. As a wine maker I could make the maximum from this visit. Many thanks for your great hospitality.

Great wines in a fantastic winery, a step away from mosel. The tasting was quite informative as well, considering the wines and different terroirs in the region.

TOP TEN BEST WINERIES OF THE WORLD!! We were well received by Tanja, who explained the many details of Mosel wine qualities of VDP and the differences between Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese. We learned quite a lot and would recommend anyone who is interested to get to know the varieties of Riesling better to come here. What a treat! Loved it and we will be back for sure. For Tanja we wish all the best!
