Grape juice and rock 'n' roll: Saxony's wineries are hosting open days this weekend and can't complain about a lack of visitors. Many estates are full, and some tours are even overcrowded, said Sindy Vogel, Managing Director of the Elbland Dresden Tourism Association, when asked. "The weather is ideal, not too hot and not too cold". Even if there is a shower in the afternoon, this will not be an obstacle. A total of 50 businesses and wineries are taking part.
This year marks the 26th time that the Open Winery Days have been held. The organizers want to show the path from the vine plant to the good drop and make the centuries-old history of winegrowing in Saxony visible. The program includes wine tastings, vineyard and cellar tours, culinary extras, live music and art exhibitions along the Elbe from Diesbar-Seußlitz to Dresden-Pillnitz.
