Stuttgarter Weindorf (September 3, 2006)

Complete Set of Photos

In the beginning of September, the city of Stuttgart puts on the Weindorf. It's a festival where they set up little restaurants and wine bars in the marketplace next to the Altes Schloss (Old Castle, it was built in the 1300's or so!). It's a very nice little festival and it is a little more refined as opposed to Oktoberfest.

The surrounding area of Stuttgart is well suited to growing wine grapes, so wine is very popular around here. There are some good Rieslings that are produced in the Stuttgart area.
