My wife and i are visiting this area (rhineland/rothenburg ) on the above dates this year.
we have been to germany before, and love it. i thought the hi-light of our trip would be to visit Munich during Oktoberfest.
I%26#39;ve since heard that there%26#39;s some kind of wine festival that is older than Oktoberfest.
Can anyone be so kind as to explain or elaborate on this event.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP. john

You will have just missed the world%26#39;s largest wine festival, Wurstmarkt (Sausage Market- www.duerkheimer-wurstmarkt.de ) in Bad Düerkheim, it runs from the 11-21Sept. It%26#39;s similar to a large beer festival except with wine, having large tents, rides and entertainment.

are we going to be close to where it is held?

Bad Dürkheim is in the Palatinate part of Rhineland-Palatinate. Close to Mannheim and Heidelberg.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_D%C3%BCrkheim
A classical route at least by car is the Castle Road from Rothenburg to Heidelberg/Mannheim.

By train the route would be rather Rothenburg - Würzburg - Heidelberg - Mannheim - Bad Dürkheim
Mannheim to Bad Dürkheim is 50 minutes by %26quot;train%26quot;. The Rhein-Haardtbahn is more of a countryside tram. Thus rather slow.
