Weinböhla

Wine enjoyment with a view

Nestled in the heart of Dresden Elbland, the sun-kissed village of Weinböhla lies at the foot of the Elbe slopes. You don’t need to be a master detective to decipher the name: in Weinböhla, wine comes first!

You can see this in the historic town centre as well as on the green outskirts: here, vines climb the trellises of the houses; there, towering views open up onto gentle vineyard slopes.

Top things to do in Weinböhla

Picturesque

Hundreds of artefacts bearing witness to the local winemaking tradition are on display at the Peterkeller, and cultural life is also shaped by the art of winemaking. The Zentralgasthof, for example, is actually known for concerts, readings and cabaret – yet the stage of the imposing ballroom is also regularly set for fine wines. In addition, the VELOCIUM awaits cycling enthusiasts – an interactive world of experiences centred around the bicycle. And as September approaches, anticipation builds everywhere: with live music, delicacies and, of course, plenty of wine, the whole of Weinböhla celebrates the Winzerstraßenfest.
