Insiders' Tips for Wine Connoisseurs
Insiders' tips for wine connoisseurs are the wine-growing areas of Saxony and Saale-Unstrut. The latter is one of the oldest in Germany, the northernmost in Europe, which has been producing wine for over a thousand years.
On the slopes of the Elbe River around Dresden, wine has been grown for 800 years. In the smallest wine-growing area in Germany, the vineyards are mostly tended by hand.
Numerous vineyards along the wine routes offer visitors the chance to taste their wine, and the traditional Rotkäppchen sparkling wine can be enjoyed in Freyburg.
