My wife and I will be in Nuremberg Germany at the end of May and then traveling south to Austria. Can anyone recommend a good winery between Nuremberg and Austria?
Thanks very much in advance.
No.
Not trying to be a jerk, but no German wine regions lie between Nuremberg and Austria, though the edges of the Franconia appellation lie about 30 miles to the W/NW of Nuremberg. You have to go 60-75 miles from Nuremberg to get to anything particularly interesting (again in a W/NW direction), so it is a question of how much time you have.

Not being a jerk. Just that we’re in Nuremberg and heading south to Austria, each on visits unrelated to wine and was hoping there might be a good place to visit. If not, so be it. Thanks.
If you have an extra day in Nuremberg, then you can certainly do a day trip, just not on the way to Austria. Depending on where in Austria you are headed, you may be able to visit wineries. If you are headed to Vienna, then that is a possibility, but if the destination is Salzburg, Innsbruck or anywhere else in the Alps, it is not.
Wurzburg is just under an hour’s train ride from Nuremburg. Not a super-scenic city (it was bombed pretty heavily in WWII), but there’s a cool old fortress and a decent number of wine bars and a few tasting rooms for local wineries in town. If you like Sylvaner and Riesling, lots of good stuff to try.
If you’re going to Vienna, it would be only slightly out-of-the-way to go through the Wachau region along the Danube (probably easier if you’re driving to make that detour).
