Two of its northernmost subareas\u2014the Baden part of the Bergstrasse and the Kraichgau\u2014belong to the Rhine-Neckar Region. White wines are predominantly grown here: Riesling and Sylvaner as well as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. The largest winegrowing town on the Baden part of the Bergstrasse mountain road is Schriesheim, where wine is not celebrated in autumn at harvest time, but already on the first weekend in March. At this Mathaisemarkt event, the town traditionally welcomes spring as well. In the Kraichgau area, it is castle taverns and seasonal private taprooms that invite visitors to savour their fruit and appreciate for themselves the vineyards on a thousand hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\nwww.badischerwein.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nHessian Bergstrasse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/L1030526.jpg\")

Yet the relatively small cultivation area is run by a relatively large number of winegrowers. The landscape is characterised by steep slopes and small parcels of land, many of which are cultivated with great idealism by amateur winegrowers. More than 600 winegrowers have joined forces in the Bergstr\u00e4\u00dfer Winzer eG cooperative in Heppenheim and in the Odenw\u00e4lder Winzergenossenschaft cooperative in Gro\u00df-Umstadt. If you want to explore this small, exquisite winegrowing area, you should go there on 1 May. On this day, the junior winegrowers in the winegrowing association of the Hessian Bergstrasse organise a vineyard hike. Participants trek through the varied vine landscape from Zwingenberg all the way to Heppenheim following a 21 kilometre-long hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foto: Sebastian Weindel<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith more than 23,000 hectares, the Palatinate is Germany\u2019s second-largest winegrowing area and focuses on a clear profile. It offers the \u2018king among white wines\u2019 a large realm, featuring about 5,500 hectares of Riesling vineyards that attract fans from all over the world. What is far less known, however, is that almost 40 per cent of the Palatinate\u2019s vineyards are planted with red grape varieties, and the trend is growing. This also makes it Germany\u2019s largest winegrowing area for red wine. And the Palatinate offers even more superlatives: Landau and Neustadt an der Weinstra\u00dfe are the largest winegrowing municipalities in Germany. The village Rhodt unter Rietburg is home to the world\u2019s oldest vineyard that bears fruit, planted around 1650. The world\u2019s oldest liquid wine, bottled in the 3rd<\/sup> century, is stored in the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer. The world\u2019s largest wine festival, named Wurstmarkt (sausage market) of all things, is celebrated in Bad D\u00fcrkheim. More than 600,000 people flock to it every year. The world\u2019s largest wine barrel is placed directly on the festival square, although it now is home to a restaurant instead of 1.7 million litres of wine. Until it was built, another wine barrel in the region had been the largest in the world: the one in Heidelberg Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nwww.pfalz.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe wines of the St Ulrich parish<\/strong>: A good vintage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nA Bauhaus-style winery:<\/strong> 100 years Clear-Cut Design and Decision<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe wine-growing business of the \u2018life support\u2019 association Lebenshilfe Bad D\u00fcrkheim: <\/strong>Two left Wellingtons and good drops<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
