Wine Growing Regions
There is much to discover in Germany's winegrowing regions - breathtaking landscapes, history, wine culture, hospitality and enjoyment.
If you are seeking an active holiday, then you can try water-skiing or kite flying on the Mosel, kayaking down the River Main, free climbing in Württemberg or exploring on a motor scooter in the Pfalz.
Wine and Wellness
Wine routes take visitors to the most beautiful highlights whether hiking, cycling or driving. Some wine country can only be explored by foot, yet longer tours that follow a river are also ideal by bike.
There are many interesting activities, events, wine festivals, historical sights and nature reserves on offer in each German wine region.Tourist information offices in the different regions have special hiking and cycling maps, including prepared tour suggestions and package deals.
Cosy countryside wine taverns
The typical "Straußwirtschaften" run by the vintners and only open during the summer season, invite you to rest and take in the local atmosphere. Look for a bouquet or broom hanging out the front to indicate that it is open. Here the vintners serve their guests homemade wine with inexpensive regional food. Some winegrowers offer overnight stays which is a blissful culmination to an eventful day in the wine regions, and a perfect way to experience local hospitality. Wine regions play an integral part in Germany’s culture and history. Enjoy!
