Travel Log: Germany's Pfalz Wine Region Part One
You may have seen on my Instagram that I recently spent a week in Germany's Pfalz wine region, famous for its Riesling Trocken (dry Riesling), with an amazing group of friends. A dear friend of ours planned the entire trip for 22 people including each day's itinerary and transport, and my husband and I were so lucky to be able to just show up and enjoy each day's experiences. The Pfalz wine region is Germany's second largest wine region and covers approximately 23,700 hectares or 228 square kilometers. While it was impossible to see the entire region, we based in one of the central cities, Neustadt An Der Weinstraße (the ß is pronounced like a soft z) , and did day trips by bike or car depending on distance. We visited Birkweiler, Speyer, Deidesheim, Gimmeldingen, Freinheim, and Landau. Please continue on to see photos and details of how we spent our first two days in Germany settling into Neustadt An Der Weinstraße and visiting nearby Birkweiler...
