The history of Wackerbarth Castle is closely linked to the Saxon court and the Dresden Baroque period. Count August Christoph von Wackerbarth had the baroque palace and gardens built between 1727 and 1730. Today, the castle is a popular destination for wine lovers and culture enthusiasts. The Saxon Elbe Valley, one of the smallest wine regions in Germany, is known for its steep slopes and terraced vineyards. These cultural and historical monuments form the basis for the region's elegant wines. Schloss Wackerbarth cultivates 90 hectares of “cool climate” wines that delight with their complexity and finesse, including Riesling, Müller-Thurgau and the unique Goldriesling.
Every year, Schloss Wackerbarth welcomes over 220,000 guests who discover the secrets of wine and sparkling wine production and can experience the pleasure of Saxon wine and sparkling wine with all their senses. The vineyard in the baroque ensemble invites you to enjoy exquisite moments of pleasure, be it at the sparkling wine spring, wine summer or “Wine & Light”.
A particular highlight is the Belvedere, the landmark of Schloss Wackerbarth. Located directly on the vineyard, it offers a breathtaking view of the entire estate. The octagonal building with its tent roof, dome and lantern is a popular venue for celebrations and receptions. Couples can even get married here in a civil ceremony and experience the most beautiful day of their lives in an incomparable ambience.
