Kupferberg Boutique, Mainz

The Kupferberg Boutique in Mainz offers a charming escape for tourists, set amidst tranquil surroundings by a beautiful park. Here, visitors can indulge in a glass of sparkling wine, sourced from a winery with a rich heritage dating back to 1850. The boutique itself is a treasure trove of gift ideas, featuring exquisite wines, sekt, champagne, and a wide range of wine glasses and flutes.

Kupferberg’s terrace, perched high above Mainz, provides stunning views and is a favorite destination for both locals and visitors. Below the main building, the winery houses the deepest sparkling wine cellar in the world, opened in 1888, descending seven storeys into the earth. These cellars, some dating back to medieval times, stretch across 60 different chambers and now form part of a museum that showcases the rich history of sparkling wine production.

Founded by Christian Adalbert Kupferberg, the winery quickly became a symbol of premium sekt in Germany, even securing the "Kupferberg Gold" trademark in 1852. The winery played a prominent role in international fairs and maintained strong connections with notable figures such as Otto von Bismarck. Although the brand is now owned by Henkell, the historic site remains a testament to the legacy of Kupferberg. The museum’s unique collection of champagne glasses, along with exhibits like the stunning Art Nouveau "Hall of Grapes," make it a must-see destination in Mainz.
