Over the years, German food has evolved as a national cuisine through centuries of social and political change. Each region has its specialty and distinct flavor. Eating in Germany, and discovering the culinary specialties and traditional foods with their diversity, consistency and excellent taste, is a big part of the fun in traveling to this country!

Though Germany is known for its beer, its wine-producing regions also boast some of the most amazing scenery, finest food, and best-touted tourist attractions, making it the perfect destination for any wine lover. Germany offers 13 official wine regions, the same number as in France. The regions are located mostly in the southern part of Germany and along the rivers Rhine, Mosel, and Ahr. Soil as well as climate favor the ripening of the grapes, white as well as red, and give German wines their much-coveted flavor and quality.

Germany`s Romantic Road is a 261-mile scenic route through the forests and mountains of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Its northern endpoint is Würzburg, a wine-region city known for the Residenz, an 18th-century baroque palace with a Tiepolo fresco. Your journey will take you through unspoiled nature, picturesque towns with city walls, towers, and half-timbered houses, hidden monasteries, medieval castles, and romantic hotels.
The Bavarian Alps extend west from Germany`s remote southeastern corner to the Allgau region near Lake Constance. This region boasts a stunningly beautiful natural divide along the Austrian border, along with picturesque alpine scenery with a quintessential German charm. Ranges further south may be higher, but these mountains spring up from the foothills so drastically that the impact is all the more dramatic.
