Southwest Germany - A Gourmet's Paradise

Get a Taste of the Best
A church, a tavern, and a bakehouse – the traditional heart of every village in Southwest Germany. Food and drink define the soul of Baden-Württemberg, the land of gourmets. Over time, it has perfected its culinary offerings: everything from a rustic snack board “Vesper” to a nine-course tasting menu, from fresh homemade lemonade to fine pear sparkling wine from the legendary 2003 vintage. Here, “Safe travels” and “Enjoy your meal” go hand in hand, just like Linsen and Spätzle.
