Culinary Tour Fruit & Wine: A Culinary Journey Through Prien
On October 1, 2026, the Culinary Tour Fruit & Wine combines nature experience, regional agriculture, and local history into a special city and landscape tour around Prien am Chiemsee. Together with nature guide Mr. Steinbichler, participants will discover old fruit varieties, traditional orchards, and the revived wine culture at Chiemsee.
From the Fruit Distillery to Eichental
The tour begins with a visit to the old Prien fruit distillery. The easy hike continues through Eichental along the fruit and cultural trail Ratzinger Höhe. Between meadows, fruit trees, and historical cultural landscapes, it becomes clear how closely nature, craftsmanship, and regional customs are connected in Prien.
Discovering and Enjoying Old Fruit Varieties
A special focus is placed on the traditional orchard. The fruit and cultural path is part of a nationwide variety preservation project and serves experts for variety identification and cutting production. When the trees are appropriately laden, participants may taste old varieties on-site and learn about their characteristic flavor diversity.
History of Winemaking at Chiemsee
Across the Prien river, the tour continues upwards to St. Salvator. On a sunny southeast slope lies the small Prien vineyard with around 95 vines. There, the guide explains the peculiarities of viticulture in the hilly area west of Chiemsee and shows how the Prien fruit and gardening association is making this long tradition visible again.
Easy Hike with Regional Tasting
The approximately one and a half-hour tour combines expert nature guidance with sensory impressions: fresh meadow air, old fruit trees, the course of the Prien river, and the view of the sunny vineyard shape the discovery experience. To conclude, the cultural enrichment ends with a glass of wine for tasting.
Conclusion
The Culinary Tour Fruit & Wine offers an authentic city and landscape tour for all who want to experience Prien, its cultural landscape, and regional history of enjoyment with new eyes. The number of participants is limited; registration at the Prien am Chiemsee tourism office is required. Secure your place for this delightful journey of discovery.
