Traveling along the Saxon Wine Route

For wine gourmets, choosing a trip to Dresden will be doubly justified.

After getting acquainted with the history and architectural beauties of Dresden, you can complement your impressions with a fascinating tour of the “Saxon Wine Way” with wine tasting in the cozy wine cellar of Meissen, or in the Vackerbart Castle in Radeboil, or in the home winery. Everywhere with pleasure receive tourists, tell, show and give to taste their wine.

Saxony is the smallest and northernmost wine region of Germany, located for fifty kilometers on the slopes of the high right bank of the Elbe River. The traditions of winemaking here are more than 850 years old. The variety of grape varieties is striking, more than 80% of which are light grape varieties. This is the only region of Germany where a rare variety - Goldrysling - bears fruit.

Every year in autumn there are numerous festivals dedicated to wine and grape harvesting in different places of the Saxon Wine Route: in the castles of Proschwitz and Wackerbart, in Dresden and Meissen, etc.

And there is nothing more pleasant, making a trip to a small wine Saxony, to admire from the deck of an ancient wheeled ship or from the window of the train the most picturesque views of coastal vineyards. For active and hardy tourists, a trip from Dresden to Meissen, for example, can be made by bicycle along well-groomed bicycle paths; making stops in roadside wineries or visiting castles, museums.

The tour route will be made according to your wishes.

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy Saxon wines!
