    Description

    Stay with us in Germany's biggest wine region, help around the house and garden or with our kids and share lots of wine with us!

    We live in the beautiful Moselle valley surrounded by vineyards in a village called Ellenz-Poltersdorf. We are a young, multilingual family looking for someone to help around the house, garden or with our two small children.
    Seba is 35 years old and from Chile and Eli is 33 and from Germany and we have two girls aged two and four. Eli's parents, aunt and uncle and her grandma all live in the same street, so be prepared for the full family experience. But don't worry! We are all easy-going people who like nothing better than sharing a bottle of wine and talking about winemaking, which has been traditional in our family for several generations.
    We love to meet new people and would like to receive someone interested in cultural exchange and not only looking for a free place to sleep.
    The region is very rural with countless possibilities to hike, go biking or do watersports on the river. Public transportation works well by bus or train and we can provide you with a bicycle for the time of your stay. We prefer to host couples that can work as a team. As we have two young children we are looking for hands-on people able to work independently and chip in when needed.

    At home we speak English, German and Spanish and we love to prepare typical foods from Germany and Chile and other places around the world. Anyone interested in languages and culture is going to have a great experience at our place!
    You'll be able to participate in wine tastings that we host for our guests and visit the cellar and vineyards. If you have any questions regarding wine making, you'll just have to ask my father and he'll be happy to talk for two hours.

    The region is ideal for all kind of outdoor activities, but there are also things you can visit during rainy days.
