Never thought of Germany as a foodie destination? It's about time!

Did you know there are over 300 Michelin stars 'made' in Germany?
Worried that while you have an expensive taste, this would break the budget?
Indulging at at the most decorated of them costs significantly less than in the US or neighboring France! 

And while everyone knows Oktoberfest, Germany is also home to the world's oldest and largest wine festival, but that is just the beginning. 

This Taste-of-Germany itinerary featuring some of our favorite big and small cities is an example of just one of countless tasty experiences to whet your appetite for German staples and suprising culinary experiences that await you in a country that has a lot more to offer than just wurst, beer and kraut.
Not for you? Don't just try one sausage. Even these staples come in countless varieties, as each region, village, even neighbors cook after often unique recipes and traditions. 

This sample taste of Southern Germany brings you via Munich to Heidelberg, with a culinary visit to Würzburg, plus the chance to experience the world's greatest wine festival in Bad Dürkheim: Wurstmarkt.  

Seeking a two country experience, how about a night in Strasbourg or Colmar, France, a quick hop over the border to the Czech Republic, or if your time allows into Austria, Switzerland, or Belgium.

Re-think Germany, but preview this culinary experience if you are on a diet.
