Hieronimi — Winery in Cochem

For more than 35 years the Hieronimi family has welcomed guests in their vaulted cellars on the bank of the Mosel in Cochem: six generations of winegrowing and wine trading, begun by Johannes Hieronimi in 1843. The absolute highlight is the Weingarten, a green garden with deckchairs right on the Mosel, lit with string lights after sunset, on the other side of the bridge, with a view of the Reichsburg Cochem on the hill. Their own wines come from 7 hectares in neighbouring Ellenz, mainly Riesling, supplemented with Chardonnay and Burgundy grapes. Buy by the glass or by the bottle: you get the glasses with it and bring them back afterwards. Small snack boards are available, but no full dinner.
