Heiligenstein

It’s worth going the extra mile (or seven) to this sweet hotel overlooking vineyards. Pared-back, earthy-hued rooms come with balconies, and guests can put their feet up in the spa and gardens. The highly regarded restaurant (mains €16 to €27) serves local, seasonally inspired fare, from freshly caught trout to venison with blackcurrant sauce and asparagus.
