Autumn is the ideal time to visit as the weather is usually sunny and warm and if conditions are right you may be able to see the harvest taking place.  It is also the best time to visit wine festivals, which take place in many wine regions in autumn.  You can try the local speciality of Federweißer, grape juice in the process of fermentation.

 

A fun and healthy way to explore Germany's wine regions is by bike, and there is a great network of cycle routes. For further information on cycling networks and bike-friendly accommodation, visit Bett & Bike.
