Wertheim, Germany - - European River Cruise Port of Call

The Franconia area of Germany is famous for its wines, and the area around Wertheim, Rothenburg, and Wurzburg is filled with beautiful vineyards. Most Franconian wines are bottled in lovely round bottles such as these. Our guide told us that the 2003 vintage was one of the best ever for Franconian wines, and we could certainly confirm this fact by pricing the wines in the local shops. The 2003 vintage was significantly higher priced than other years!
