Saale-Unstrut - Franconia and Baden

Wine has shaped the history, culture, art and people of Germany. Especially in the regions of Saale-Unstrut, Franconia and Baden, a friendly, nearly Southern European cheerfulness sets the tone not just in the vineyards, but in the cities as well. This German Wine Sampler itinerary offers opportunities to experience not only the vineyards, wine cellars and wineries—and wines—but also the culture and history of each city.

In towns along the way, you can enjoy specially planned dinners with a variety of regional wines. You can visit wineries for tours of their vineyards and cellars and for wine tastings and take guided city tours. And you can take side trips by train, car, boat, bike or foot into some of the wine world’s most scenic settings.
