What it is
Wine is, along with fishing, one of Werder's oldest trades. The Lindicke family farms the Wachtelberg and the Galgenberg, with varieties such as Müller-Thurgau, Sauvignon Blanc and Dornfelder, and at the top of the Wachtelberg opens the Weintiene, its seasonal tavern, to drink their wines with a view over the Havel. At harvest time, from late August to early October, it serves fermenting must and onion tart every day.
Getting there and when
It is at Wachtelwinkel 30. By train, take the RE1 to Werder and bus 630 to the Wachtelwinkel stop, five minutes' walk; or walk about 2 km from the station. It opens from Easter to mid-October: the 2026 season has already closed and returns at Easter 2027. On the last three Sundays of Advent there is mulled wine beside the vineyard hut.
