Stretching from the Black Forest to Lake Constance, Baden is Germany’s longest wine region and one of its most sun-drenched. This diverse area includes iconic subregions like Kaiserstuhl, Ortenau, and Markgräflerland, each offering its own expression of Baden’s generous terroir. It’s a region where warm hospitality and rich winemaking heritage go hand in hand.

Baden is ideal for scenic wine travel, with panoramic vineyard routes and historic estates spread across varied landscapes. Whether you’re cycling through Tuniberg or strolling through the spa town of Baden-Baden, tastings are always close at hand. Many wineries offer gourmet experiences that highlight the best of Baden’s food and wine culture.

Cuisine here is rich, refined, and deeply regional. Classics like Black Forest ham, Schäufele, and creamy asparagus dishes find beautiful balance with Baden’s Burgunders. Michelin-starred restaurants and rustic inns alike celebrate seasonal ingredients and thoughtful wine pairings.

Baden is Burgundy country: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc lead the way, producing expressive wines with body and elegance. Gutedel (Chasselas) is a regional specialty in Markgräflerland, while Riesling and Müller-Thurgau round out the offerings with freshness and charm.

Baden’s seasons are all worth savoring. Spring brings asparagus and wine fests; summer is lush and lively; autumn explodes with color and grape harvest; winter offers cozy cellar moments, often paired with local game and rich reds.

Start in Freiburg and explore nearby Kaiserstuhl vineyards, then head south to Markgräflerland for Gutedel tastings in picturesque villages. End your journey on Lake Constance’s northern shore, pairing lakeside serenity with elegant wines.
