Spring arrives and nature bursts into life in the vineyards of Germany – which is why young vintners and chefs are hosting a leisurely wine-themed walk through the Bopparder Hamm vineyards in the Middle Rhine region on 29 April 2012.

Those who prefer to enjoy the grapes after they have been harvested might also like to visit the 4th Esslingen Wine Forum on 28 and 29 April. Regional vintners will be showcasing over 100 wines from the Württemberg wine region and inviting visitors to sample them.
