Ok, so you want to go to Oktoberfest in Germany this fall. Well, you’re a little late. They tell us that the tents are just about sold out. Sure, there will be cancellations as certain as there will be price increases–but you don’t want to buy an expensive ticket to Germany only to find out there isn’t a place for you inside, do you?
Well, my suggestion is to head over to the Pfalz wine region. That’s where I’m going in September. If you’re lucky, you might catch the Dürkheim Wurstmarkt. No, it’s not the worst market you’ve ever been to, It’s simply the main event of the year in the Pfalz. You can gulp down enjoy over 150 different wines in over 50 different places at this big festival.
Ferienhaus Lausekuppe - Germany Vacation Rental
You’ll need some lodging, of course. If you wanted to save a bundle, perhaps you’ll want to stay out in the country. It’s beautiful country indeed. The place over there to the left is in the middle of some vast green. And guess what? The cheapest rental rates are in the fall. Go figure.
The place is called “Ferienhaus Lausekuppe” and it sleeps four.
So, instead of trying to find a seat in a tent outside Munich, why not belly on up to a Schubkärchler? That’s a “small traditional wine stand with scrubbed wooden tables worn smooth over the years.”
I’m surprised you didn’t know that. But trust me, the wine of the Pfalz is first rate. You’ll love it.
I’m outta here. I gotta pack.
