What you can expect

  • Experience the Palatinate at its most beautiful and most indulgent on an exclusive excursion to the traditional spa town of Bad Dürkheim. Your journey in a comfortable, air-conditioned van will take you straight to the heart of the German Wine Route, where gentle vine-covered hills and Palatinate warmth await you. In a relaxed small group of up to 6 people, you will immerse yourself deeply in the culture of indulgence and the fascinating history of this region steeped in history.

    Our stop in Bad Dürkheim combines fascinating knowledge with an authentic wine experience. We will walk together to the impressive saline – the historic graduation house – where you will feel the soothing, salty breeze and learn exciting details about salt extraction in days gone by. The famous Dürkheim giant barrel, the largest barrel in the world, is an absolute visual highlight. Here, you will listen to the intriguing stories of its creation and learn why, although it was never filled with wine, it is an absolute monument to Palatinate wine culture. Right next door is the legendary Brühlwiesen Square, home of the Dürkheim Sausage Festival. You will learn first-hand how the world's largest wine festival has evolved from a medieval market to today's cult event.

    After these fantastic impressions, you can enjoy the cuisine of the region and very special, typical regional dishes during your lunch break. Be sure to try the Palatinate Saumagen!

    The grand finale of this tour is a wine tasting – first in historic surroundings with the flair of Roman times and then at a select top winery in the region. You will sample the fine wines of the Palatinate – first and foremost, of course, the lively Riesling, for which the region is world-famous. A day full of indulgence, culture and unforgettable impressions in the sun-drenched paradise of the Palatinate.
