It's wine o'clock in autumn!

Every season has its charm in the vineyard! But autumn has it all. Not only are the most beautiful wine festivals in Baden-Württemberg then, but the hillsides slowly turn a beautiful red colour. A ride through the colourful vineyards with the Tracktor is therefore particularly fun. Or take one of the many guided tours through the autumnal vines and learn all kinds of information about viticulture. And savour the wines at the same time. Important: always keep an eye on the calendar!
