There are many ways to explore “Germany's most beautiful gourmet corner” - but there are few more enjoyable than by car, camper, bike or on foot along the Baden Wine Route. Since 1954, one of Germany's most beautiful vacation routes has run like a red thread through the Baden wine regions along the Black Forest - through Ortenau, Breisgau, Kaiserstuhl, Tuniberg and Markgräflerland. To mark its 60th anniversary, the Baden Wine Route has also been running through the Baden wine regions of Kraichgau and Badische Bergstrasse since 2014, offering a total of over 500 kilometers of pure wine experience. Numerous paths also lead from the Baden Wine Route even deeper into the wine country of Baden: down to Lake Constance and up to Tauberfranken, where the “Taubertal Wine Route” points the way to the wine. Wine explorers can look forward to impressive views over vineyards and sun-drenched valleys along the way. Numerous castles and palaces invite you to linger along the route and picturesque winegrowing villages with winding alleyways, stately farmsteads and modern winegrowing architecture are always worth a stop. Charming towns characterize the cultural landscape of Baden wine country with museums, churches and promenades. Throughout the year, hospitable winegrowers invite you to enjoy cozy wine festivals, wine tastings or a vacation on a winegrower's farm. Many excellent inns and restaurants with culinary delights and regional specialties are recommended along the wine route on “Baden's Gourmet Route”.
