Freinsheim Blossom Festival

The Freinsheim Blossom Festival is an annual event that takes place in the medieval town of Freinsheim, surrounded by vineyards and wineries. The event allows wineries to showcase this season's wines, and allows visitors to have a taste of all the goodness. We purchased our tickets (12 Euro for 16 glasses/150ml) and had a good variety of "wet and dry" (Corey's joke)… 

There were also a few carnival rides, a bake sale, and some vendors selling homemade goods. It was a beautiful sunny day, and a cute town to just walk around with friends and take in the gorgeous surroundings!

The town's wall was constructed in the 1500s, but the town likely dates back to the 6th century!

After exploring the town, we took a walk through the local fruit groves of Kreuzhof Winery. We were passed by horse pulled carts carrying loads of visitors, and a colorful train shuttling visitors through the streets.

I wish I had taken a few more pics of the actual festival! Maybe we'll be back to Freinsheim :)
