Adventure winery. Here you will have plenty of time to explore the magnificent baroque park with its vineyards. Enjoy the special atmosphere, visit the wine shop, and take the opportunity to taste regional wines and sparkling wines or to take them home with you as a souvenir.
We will then switch to the left bank of the Elbe and travel to Meissen. Just before the city, we will make a photo stop at the world-famous Meissen State Porcelain Manufactory. For over 300 years, it has stood for the finest porcelain art and is known worldwide by its trademark – the crossed swords.
After that, one of the most impressive parts of the tour begins. Your driver will take you through the historic alleys of the old town up to Castle Hill and directly to the Cathedral Square. There, the majestic Albrechtsburg Castle and the imposing Meissen Cathedral await you, together forming the city's landmark. Albrechtsburg Castle is considered the oldest castle in Germany and is one of the most important buildings of the late Gothic period. Meissen is also considered the cradle of Saxony and impresses with its more than 1,000-year history.
This is where we take our lunch break. Around Cathedral Square, cozy restaurants and eateries invite you to linger. Afterwards, there will be plenty of time to explore the cathedral with its late Gothic cloister, the cathedral museum, or the vantage points overlooking the Elbe Valley on your own.
After this cultural highlight, we will drive back over the Elbe Bridge to the right bank of the Elbe towards Diera-Zehren. Along the vineyards, you can once again enjoy wonderful views of the Elbe Valley and the Saxon wine country. The route then takes us through the varied landscape to Moritzburg Castle.
The Baroque moated castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Germany and became world-famous as the setting for the fairy-tale film “Three Wishes for Cinderella.” During our approximately 30-minute stay, you can explore the castle, the extensive park grounds, and the picturesque castle pond from the outside and take unforgettable souvenir photos.
With numerous impressions of vineyards, historic cities, magnificent palaces and the unique landscape of the Elbe Valley, we then begin the relaxed return journey to Dresden. Our tour ends back at Pirnaischer Platz, where a varied day full of culture, history, and Saxon hospitality comes to a close.
