Wine Events and Experiences

Historic vineyard landscape of Radebeul

Directly to the west of Dresden lies the large district town of Radebeul, through which a historic vineyard landscape stretches at altitudes between 70 and 212 metres. The region has been an important part of Saxon culture for 850 years and extends far beyond Radebeul. The cultural landscape is now a listed site and still produces high-quality grapes for Saxony’s famous wines. Its numerous hiking trails are considered the most popular in the Dresden area and are highly recommended. In addition to the wineries, there have also been cellars for almost 200 years, which demonstrate the art of sparkling wine production.

If you decide to spend a day in the Radebeul wine region, you can, of course, expect more than just a long walk. You can visit the Schloss Wackerbarth winery, which is famous for its wines and sparkling wines. Visiting other wineries and cellars is also worthwhile. 

Those interested in astronomy are also welcome to visit the Radebeul Observatory to observe the night sky and enjoy the view there after dark.
