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

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.
