Friedrichshafen Private guided tour with wine tasting

About this activity

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

Join us on a guided city tour of Friedrichshafen 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 lively city center 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.
