Vineyards above the Moselle River, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Welcome to Palatinate, a wine lover's dream come true. Known for its picturesque vineyards, the Palatinate in western Germany is characterised by rolling hills, fertile soils and a warm climate. This favourable terroir allows for the cultivation of a diverse variety of grapes. While Riesling reigns supreme, other notable varieties include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau and Dornfelder. Palatinate is the largest red wine-producing region in the country, with over 40% of the vineyards devoted to it.

When in the Palatinate, visitors can try Schorle, a drink made by mixing wine with sparkling water. Each wine-producing town or village in the region hosts an annual Weinfest or wine festival, showcasing local wines. During these festivities, people often enjoy wine in the form of Schorle. The region is also home to the Wurstmarkt, recognised as the world's largest wine festival, held in Bad Dürkheim. It draws over 600,000 visitors every year. So, let's raise a toast to the Palatinate!
