Spring is a beautiful time for walking and discovering Germany’s romantic wine villages and wineries.  And, for those who wish to combine a weekend of walking and wine-tasting in Germany, the Wine Walking Weekend is ideal.

Wine and Walking Weekend – April 2016

Germany‘s annual Wine and Walking Weekend (WeinWanderWochenende) is scheduled for the weekend of April 23 and 24. During this weekend, visitors can look forward to more than 100 themed activities depending on the region you choose for your walking weekend. Some of the wine regions involved in the wine walking weekend include the Ahr, Baden, Franken, Hesse Mountain Road, Middle Rhine, Mosel, Rheinhessen, the Neckar Valley and Saxony.

During the Wine Walking Weekend, keen walkers (and drinkers) throughout the country will set off across meadows and fields, stopping only to sample the wine and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Some of the walks are family friendly, such as in the Baden region where the winemakers invite visitors to their homes.

Many of the walks are accompanied by expert guides. Along the famous German wine routes, the walks can lead to Roman forts, pass romantic castles and take visitors through herb gardens and beautiful landscapes. Along the way, you can also sample some culinary delights – the choice ranges from hearty regional fare to five-course gourmet meals.

A number of the trails also take walkers through wine-growing villages and wineries where the  traditional wine festivals may be in progress.

The good news is that on your Wine Walking Weekend, drink-driving is not an issue!

For places to stay in Germany, you can search and book your hotels online HERE.

    I love all of Germany’s wine and walking self guided tours, but I wasn’t aware that there was a weekend for it. Too bad I’m on crutches at the moment, as this sounds like a lot of fun.

      Ryann,

      The wine-walking weekend is all over Germany’s wine-growing regions. Below is link that shows you where they are. I suggest you copy the link into Google Chrome as it translates the pages for you.

      Once you decide which region you’re going for, email the particular winery and get further information on where to meet.

      Enjoy!

      Kind regards,
      Helen
