Interactive map: hikes, events and wine producers in Germany
Wine hikes, wine producers, highlights of wine culture, excellent vinotheques, the most beautiful wine views and wine events are presented on the DWI's interactive map - clear and concise, filterable by wine-growing region.
Wine hikes and wine culture highlights
The interactive map now also shows over 50 wine hikes in all 13 German wine-growing regions. These include tours to the most beautiful wine views as well as selected themed hikes in the areas. For each hiking trail, valuable detailed information such as the length of the route or the altitude difference is visible with just one click, as is the exact course of the tour, which can be found on the outdooractive.com.
In addition, the 80 vinotheques awarded by DWI and the 55 highlights of wine culture in the wine-growing regions can be found on the map. Further information on the individual wine tourism highlights is stored behind the individual symbols on the map.
Finding wine producers and wine events
Furthermore, users can search for the locations of over 2,300 wine producers and current events. The interactive map also works on the smartphone.
The basis for the map and the stored information is the DWI database, in which every wine producer or organizer can enter updates and respective estate related details independantly.
In addition to the interactive map, the DWI website exclusively provides a digital map of vineyards throughout Germany. It makes it possible to scroll into the individual cultivation areas and to take a closer look at more than 2000 individual sites entered, including data in regards to slope, sunshine duration and amount of precipitation.
Users can also use Germany's winegrower search engine to find producers of certain grape varieties or special tourist offers. The event calendar supplements the service. By searching in a specific postcode area, events in the German growing areas can be filtered regionally.
