Which airport should I fly into for this region?

Frankfurt (FRA) is the main gateway, roughly 45 minutes from Mainz by train. Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN) sits within the region itself but has far fewer flights. Activate your eSIM before landing at either.

Is one eSIM enough for the wine villages and cities?

Yes - the same national Germany plan covers Trier, Cochem, Koblenz, Mainz and every vineyard town between, so there's no swapping SIMs as you follow the Moselle and Rhine.
