Pfälzer Wine Festivals

[Ronno]

Here is a diary of all the village wine festivals taking place in the Sud Pfalz wine area of Germany. There's a festival almost every weekend in the area. Most if not all of these villages are half timbered and very picturesque. There are lots of guest houses, BnBs and small hotels in all these villages There are also some cracking roads in the area, heading into the Pfalzerwald and over the border into northern Alsace.

The Wurstmarkt festival in Bad Duerkheim is the biggest wine festival in the world.

A "Winter Schorle" was 3/4 wine and the rest soda. He could drink 12 or 15 in an evening and not be falling about. I could probably manage three
