About
Stefan's Wine and Christmas Paradise Stefan opened his shop, in St. Goar in the middle of the World heritage `Mittelrhein`, over 20 years ago. He is offering delecius Wines and Brandys made from his family. The first and still the most famous Brandy Stefan's family is producing is the peach Brandy. Made out of red peaches which are growing in the vineyards. Whenever you are entering the shop you will be offered a taste of it.: Be careful this Brandy make costumers return from all over the world. Today the variety of Stefan's Brandys got much bigger. The Menu offers something for every taste: from the famous peach Brandy to Blackberry Brandy, from different chocolate Brandys to winter apple brandy even a whisky or a cognac. And not to forget the Queen of the German wines 'Eiswein'. You will find this seldom wine as well in Stefan's shop. Eiswein must be produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugar and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing a more concentrated grape. With Eiswein, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards. Only healthy grapes keep in good shape until the opportunity arises for an Eiswein harvest, which in extreme cases can occur after the New Year, on a northern hemisphere calendar. This gives Eiswein its characteristic refreshing sweetness balanced by high acidity. Eiswein production is risky (the frost may not come at all before the grapes rot or are otherwise lost) and requires the availability of a large enough labor force to pick the whole crop within a few hours, at a moment's notice, on the first morning that is cold enough. This results in relatively small amounts of Eiswein being made world-wide, making Eiswein generally quite expensive. You have some time in St. Goar come in and enjoy a free wine and Brandy tasting. Or enjoy your time browsing through the Christmas shop. You are visiting St. Goar with a group, no problem give a call and we set up a tasting with some snacks for you. Or what do you think of a free tasting at your home? And don't worry when your bottles get empty you can always order online and we ship it directly to your home. And of course we will reimburse your shipping as well when you order online.

- John M1 contributionWell worth a visit!Amazing shop, absolutely recommend if you are anywhere near Saint Goar. Stefan was so genuinely nice and also gave us some free tastings of his brandys which were delicious. We went up to the Christmas shop upstairs and bought a large nutcracker for a great price. Will definitely remember this place and be back again if we can! Thanks again Stefan, from the McLeods from NZVisited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 June 2023
- Kathleen2 contributionsMust-do wine tasting!We were here 22 years ago and the wine and the experience were both so memorable, we planned a trip here again. We can’t say enough good things about the delicious peach brandy and the fun wine tasting experience and the chance to ship icewine back home. Thank you Stefan!Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 July 2023
- Kirsten MCambridge, Massachusetts3 contributionsLovely shop, well worth a visit!Definitely visit if you are in the area!! Stefan's shop is lovely, has a wonderful selection of wines, clocks and so many other things. Stefan was wonderful, he gave us a great wine rec for a much nicer wine than the one I'd chosen for the same price, took great care in helping us choose a clock, and clearly cares a great deal about his business and customers. Definitely recommend. :)Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 July 2023
- Laurent111975Saeul, Luxembourg4 contributionsWonderful shop and lovely person!We visited Stefans Wine shop in 2022 and were delighted by the quality of his wines and above all by the kindness of Stefan. We bought 2 boxes of Riesling. This year, I went to the shop alone and Stefan did recognise me. It was again a real pleasure to chat with this friendly and warm-hearted person. The local Riesling wines are marvellous, as well as all his brandies.Visited July 2023Written 20 July 2023
- Amanda O2 contributionsAbsolutely AmazingThis place was amazing. Stefan is so nice and kind. He gave me samples of every bottle I purchasedw. He also shipped it to my home this was definitely one of the best places I’ve been to on the Rhine river. I would definitely recommend you stop here if u visit the Rhine you’re gonna leave sooo happy.Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 16 September 2023
- Kodie H1 contributionA wonderful experience with StefanStefan welcomed myself and my group with open arms, taking us through a tour of Brandy and Ice Wine that none of us had ever heard of or thought possible! I realized, to my misfortune, that I'd simply had very bad Brandy and Wine my entire life. The store is welcoming and offers so much for visitors to find, whether you're there for souvenirs, drinkware, Brandy, or Christmas; you are sure to find it from Stefan, at a reasonable price, and you'll have a good time while you are there!Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 7 January 2024
- Christopher HJoplin, Missouri1 contributionStefans Brandy and Wines are among the best I have tasted in my travels! Exceptional Hospitality!I first visited Stefans Wine Paradise back in 2016 during a business trip. A few friends and I booked a Castle viewing and Rhein River trip and one little gem in the middle of the trip was a scheduled stop at Stefans Wine Paradise. I am not a heavy alcohol drinker and when the owner Stefan offered us some brandy to taste I was hesitant at first. I previously had an unpleasant experience with brandy I had tried that was very alcohol heavy. Stefans’ pleasantness won me over and I tried his brandy and am I ever thankful I did as it was a wonderful balance of sweet flavor and just the right amount of alcohol to warm you up. My friend and I purchased a variety of flavors and had them shipped home. This year during another business trip I took a group of friends to Stefans’ and it was as enjoyable as I remembered. Stefan is a fantastic person and his warm and inviting demeanor will leave a lasting impression on you. I highly recommend giving this place a visit if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed.Visited January 2024Travelled on businessWritten 7 January 2024
- BrentOtterbach, Germany2 contributionsOne of the best shops run by one of the best people in the Rhine River Valley!I can't say enough great things about Stefan and his fantastic shop. We have come here time and again over the years, taken all of our visiting friends and family to meet this amazing soul and his incredible wine and wares, and Stefan has gone out of his way every single time to accommodate us even when his store was officially closed! I and my family can't say thank you enough to this wonderful man and his family for providing such a fantastic experience in beautiful Sankt Goar, and we will continue to come here for many years to come!!Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 29 January 2024

Gracia was so kind and pleasant in helping us find our wine, bier steins and gifts. We were so thankful when they arrived safely at our home; Stefan took the utmost care in packaging them for delivery (thick boxes and everything was perfectly packed)!

Stefan is an absolute legend and his wines are a gift from the heavens.
We noticed his TripAdvisor sign on our trip through Bacharach and decided to check it out on our return. Upon entering his shop, the light dims somewhat compared to the sunny street outside. You’re welcomed by the warm wood interior and walls covered with Mittelrhein curios, cuckoo clocks in the back, and countless wines and brandies.
Stefan welcomed us with a taste of his peach brandy, and I was sold on the spot. I have long been skeptical of the description of a wine’s bouquet, but here for the first time in my 37 years have I finally understood a spirit’s flavour profile so distinctly. He offered us tastes of his ice wines as well as his rhubarb and chocolate brandies - that chocolate brandy smelled heavenly, and left a beautiful note of maple and nuts after the fact.
Stefan knows his craft and has found his calling in life. Without a doubt, you MUST visit here. Just be warned: you won’t be able to resist buying a bottle or more. It’s just so good. We will be customers for life (and Stefan has his website and is more than happy to take your call to ensure you have the right bottle in hand - he ships worldwide too!).
GO HERE.
