The idea

What’s included in the weekend.

I’ve been wanting to try putting together a little wine weekend for a while, so this is the trial run with a fun first group.

Don’t expect perfection. Expect your friend planning a really good trip :) We’ll try it out, see what works, drink some great wine, eat well and I’ll collect your feedback after.

The price is simply meant to cover the weekend, not make a profit.

2 nights Private accommodation in Randersacker, based on sharing a room with one other person.
2 winery tastings Two winery visits and tastings across the Franken wine region.
2 dinners Dinner together on Friday and Saturday night.
Saturday lunch A proper lunch in wine country, ideally somewhere with a beautiful view.
Breakfasts Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning.
Weekend transport Transport to wineries and dinners, transport from Munich where applicable, plus one coordinated Würzburg Hbf pickup on Friday.
Rough itinerary

Here’s roughly how the weekend will look.

The exact wineries, restaurants and timing are still being confirmed, so this is the general shape of the weekend rather than a minute-by-minute plan.

Friday · Oct 16

Arrive, settle in & dinner nearby

From 16:00 Check-in is open at the private apartments in Randersacker if you want to make your own way there earlier.

Around 16:00 Group departure from Munich. Exact pickup point will depend on where everyone is coming from.

Würzburg Hbf One coordinated pickup for anyone arriving by train from Berlin or another city.

Evening Dinner together near the accommodation, then an easy first night in wine country.

Dinner location and timing may shift slightly as reservations are confirmed.
Saturday · Oct 17

Vineyard views, two tastings & a long dinner

09:00 Breakfast.

Morning About an hour outside around the Randersacker vineyards for a little movement and some very good autumn views.

Late morning First winery tasting, likely around the Würzburger Stein.

Lunch Somewhere with good food, good wine and a beautiful view.

Afternoon Head toward Frickenhausen for our second winery visit and tasting at Bickel-Stumpf.

Evening A little wander around the village and vineyards, then dinner together.

This is intentionally a rough schedule. The exact wineries, restaurants and timings may move around a little as everything gets confirmed.
Sunday · Oct 18

Slow morning & home

Morning Breakfast and a relaxed start in Randersacker.

Later Head back toward Munich together. For anyone travelling onward by train, we’ll coordinate one Würzburg Hbf drop-off.

Exact departure timing will be coordinated with the group.

What I’m going for

Good wine, good views, good food.

Not a packed tour where we’re rushing from one tasting to the next. I want the weekend to feel easy: a little walking, time outside, wineries that are actually worth visiting, and meals we can sit over for a while.
