Subject: Re: **German Wine Festivals Information Request** |
| Guten Tag Everyone: I am living in Southwestern Germany and one of the larger, regional festivals (called: "Winzerfest") is held every other year here just north of Stuttgart in a small city called Besigheim. It is held during the harvest time (third weekend in September) and involves not only local and regional curiosity and people, but wine enthusiasts from all over the world. Many other smaller festivals or street fests are held throughout the summer, but the one in Besigheim is actually a 4-5 day event, where the deep cellars are all opened up, parties happen with live music and food throughout the nights of the fest. Of course, drinking only Baden-Wuerrtemberger wine and as much as possible. As you may be aware, Baden-Wuerrtemberg has the largest per-capita wine consumption rate in all of Germany, at around 40 liters per person...in this land of beer drinkers. Zum wohl!
