About this activity

Guided city tour in Lindau including wine tasting - an enjoyable connection!

Join us on a guided city tour through the historic old town of Lindau, the island town in Lake Constance and taste various delicious Lake Constance wines during your tour!

On our tour you can enjoy the noble plants of the region in selected beautiful places in the old town and/or with a view of Lake Constance. Along the way, you will hear facts and anecdotes about Lake Constance wine.

Here on Lake Constance, the vines grow predominantly on ice age weathering soils - there is nowhere else in Germany! The terroir offers ideal conditions to produce fine wines. The mild climate, Lake Constance as a heat store, the reflection of the sun’s rays on the heat-loving vineyards and, last but not least, the warm blow-dry winds from the Mediterranean ensure that excellent, award-winning wines grow on Lake Constance at an altitude of sometimes more than 500 m above sea level.

Ideal for tasting a delicious local wine.

Linz harbour shows two landmarks of the city: the Bavarian Lion on the left and the only lighthouse in Bavaria on the right. They stand at the entrance to the harbour and together form one of the most beautiful harbour entrances in Europe. Toast the stone Linz Lions with a wholesome glass of wine from Lake Constance!
Mangturm

At the end of the 12th century. Built as part of the city's fortifications, the Mangturm served as a lighthouse until modern times, pointing the way to the port for ships in darkness. The long, blond braid hanging from one of the old gunpowders is reminiscent of Rapunzel and thus of the fairy tale readings that occasionally take place in the historic building.
