The Württemberger Weinstraße (also Württemberg Wine Route) is a Holiday Route through the Wine Growing Area Württemberg that begins in Niederstetten-Oberstetten, via Weikersheim (near Bad Mergentheim), Heilbronn, Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart to Metzingen. The southern end point of the Württemberger Wine Route is the Kressbronn wine growing exclave on Lake Constance.

The 511-kilometre-long tourist road begins in the north in Weikersheim and leads through the Württemberg wine-growing regions on the banks of the Tauber, Kocher rivers, Jagst, Neckar, Sulm, Lein, Zaber, Schozach, Bottwar and Rems to the seven-press town of Metzingen in the south.

An exclave of the Württemberger Weinstrasse is Kressbronn on Lake Constance, where Württemberger wines are cultivated beyond the state border as far as Lindau. The route leads through all Württemberg wine regions and passes many sights. On October 13, 2004 the new wine route was officially inaugurated in Tripsdrill.

The Württemberger Weinstraße is the successor of the previous Swabian Wine Route, but with a revised route. In the east the "Remstal-Route" has been integrated.

On April 12, 2007, the route was extended a little bit: It now leads from Stuttgart-Münster directly to Stuttgart city centre and then back to Bad Cannstatt.

Predecessor: the Swabian Wine Route

The Swabian Wine Route (dt. Schwäbische Weinstraße) was a holiday route in Baden-Württemberg. It led through many wine villages in wine-growing area Württemberg.

It was inaugurated on 14 September 1993. It was followed in 1996 by a 320-kilometre-long cycle path and a branched network of hiking trails with a total length of 420 kilometres.

On October 13, 2004, the Swabian Wine Route was replaced by the newly created Württemberg Wine Route with an extended route.
