I came to Würzburg as a student to study economics and law. Here, I first fell in love with the city, then with my wife, who comes from a Franconian wine-growing family – and so Würzburg became my home. After 30 years as a manager in the automotive industry, I decided to turn my passion into my profession. Today, I am a certified city guide and a certified Franconian wine experience guide. I see myself not simply as a tour guide, but as a private cultural host. My aim is to help guests experience Würzburg and Franconia through their history, people, traditions and wines. My tours connect the famous sights with the stories behind them: from prince-bishops, baroque architecture and the old wine estates to Jewish history, religious traditions and the families who shaped the city. Franconian wine is often part of the experience, offering a unique window into the landscape, culture and character of the region. Every guest is different, which is why I tailor each tour to your interests, pace and background. You may wish to discover Würzburg’s essential highlights, explore its history and wine culture in greater depth, or uncover some of the unexpected connections between them. My aim is to make you feel informed, engaged and inspired—and to ensure that your time in Würzburg is personal, enjoyable and truly memorable.

Overview of your Wurzburg tour

Discover Würzburg through the stories and wines that have shaped the city. This private experience brings history, architecture and wine culture together with knowledge and a light touch. During our Old Town walk, we taste and compare three premium Franconian wines. Each opens a different perspective on Würzburg’s landscape, historic estates and traditions. Fascinating personalities and surprising connections ensure that history never feels dry—even before the first wine is poured. I came to Würzburg to study and later married into a Franconian wine family. As a certified Würzburg city guide and Franconian Wine Experience Guide, I will welcome you as my guest and share the city as I know it. The private format leaves time for your interests and questions. I have designed this 2.5-hour experience as an unhurried, step-free walk of 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles). Your tasting includes three 0.1-litre wines, mineral water and bread. Wine is served to guests aged 18 or older.
