Schloss Wackerbarth
A bubbly pleasure
Wackerbarth sounds like the name from a fairy tale. And what awaits the visitor at the foot of the vineyard in Radebeul truly seems legendary: the unique ensemble of a stately home and a belvedere, Baroque gardens and a modern factory for making wine and sparkling wine in the middle of the lovely landscape of Saxony‘s Elbe valley. A real little jewel built between 1727 and 1729 by Count August Christoph Count von Wackerbarth as his retirement residence called »Wackerbarths Ruh«.
With all this pomp, the Count was not alone for long: even Augustus the Strong treasured the charming atmosphere and the delicacy maturing in the barrels. Wackerbarth Castle, which experienced many a euphoric party of the Saxon court, has since then been a by-word for elegant wines, sparkling wines and Saxon joie de vivre, and now presents the 800-year-old tradition of wine-growing in Saxony in its most beautiful form.
A bubbly pleasure is the sparkling wine from the Wackerbarth vintners and has been produced for almost 200 years. This second-oldest sparkling wine producer in Germany uses only its own grapes, which ferment traditionally in the bottle to produce a fine and fruity specialty.
Visitors can themselves try the quality of the Saxon State Winery in the transparent factory, feast on fine food and take home a drop of the fine stuff.
