Germany has a long culinary history reflecting its rural roots and geography. Mention traditional German food and most people tend to think of sausage, sauerkraut and beer, but Germany is much more than these three things. Over the years, German food has evolved as a national cuisine through centuries of social and political change. Each region has its specialty and distinct flavor. Eating in Germany, and discovering the culinary specialties and traditional foods with their diversity, consistency and excellent taste, is a big part of the fun in traveling to this country!
Though Germany is known for its beer, its wine-producing regions also boast some of the most amazing scenery, finest food, and best-touted tourist attractions, making it the perfect destination for any wine lover. Germany offers 13 official wine regions, the same number as in France. The regions are located mostly in the southern part of Germany and along the Rivers Rhine, Mosel, and Ahr. Soil as well as climate favor the ripening of the grapes, white as well as red, and give German wines their much-coveted flavor and quality.
