What you can expect

  • Get ready for a day in the sun-drenched Palatinate that goes far beyond a normal wine tasting. From the monumental traces of the Romans to the world's largest wine barrel – we combine moderate hiking with top-class enjoyment and the most spectacular vantage points in the region. Discover hand-picked wines from award-winning top wineries and premium organic quality right where the grapes grow. We immerse ourselves in the heart of the German Wine Route and combine culture with exercise.

    Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from one of the meeting points in the region. We start in a small group of no more than 6 participants at the Riesenfass, the world's largest wine barrel. After that, we will breathe in the healing sea breeze in one of the longest open-air inhalatoriums in Germany. Next, we will continue through the spa park to the tranquil city centre with its Mediterranean flair.

    After a lunch break that you can spend as you like, we set off on a roughly two-hour hike through the vineyards. Along the almond trees, we will taste two premium wines from an award-winning local top winemaker in a historic setting. Here, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about old traditions and modern wine culture, with fantastic views of the surrounding area and the atmosphere of bygone times.

    Back in Bad Dürkheim, we'll take the van to the “Kaffeemühlchen” (Flag Tower). After a short hike, we will enjoy the view of the Rhine plain with a relaxing glass of wine.

    With unforgettable impressions in your memory, we will take you back to your original point of departure in the evening in complete comfort.
