You know, if you were to browse my recent posts, you would think (correctly!) that I’ve been all over the map!
My friend and I have finally decided our travel destination for a couple weeks in May-June 2026 will be Germany. Specially, we want to go to Leipzig and Berlin (probably in that order based on musical performances that are of interest, but it’s negotiable).
I would like to add a few lower-key days in a wine area—tastings, cute little towns, maybe a winery stay, maybe a day-long winery tour. We could rent a car if necessary. We are both in our 60s—walking in not-too-difficult terrains and cities is fine, but we aren’t looking for hiking/biking excursions!
The Saale-Unstrut region is fairly close. Who has experienced it? Yes? No? Favorite towns? Recommendations?
Other reasonably close wine regions to explore? Maybe around Dresden?
This will likely be a few days at the end of trip.
Vielen dank!
