Spring Wine Festival Vibes: Meckenheim’s WeinTestival
April 26 - April 27
This Spring Wine Festival Turns Vineyards into Dance Floors: Meckenheim’s WineTestival
Get ready for a Spring Wine Festival like no other! Nestled between orchards and vineyards, Meckenheim’s “6 auf der Höhe” WeinTestival is where fine wine meets festival vibes. Think crisp Rieslings, DJ beats, and a vineyard wine walk that turns a simple tasting into a full-on weekend experience.
Why You’ll Love It
- Wine Tasting with a View – Sip six outstanding wines from Meckenheim’s top winemakers, all while soaking in the stunning Haardtblick panorama.
- From Live Music to Techno Beats – Saturday kicks off with live bands before transitioning into a DJ-driven techno celebration under the stars.
- Sunday Wine Walk – Grab a glass and explore the scenic Weinparcours, where six tasting stations await you among the vines.
🍷 Sip Tip: Start with a Weißburgunder in the afternoon and end with a bold Spätburgunder as the sun sets!
Really Grape Details:
Saturday: 5 PM – 1 AM (Live music & DJ sets)
Sunday: 12 PM – Midnight (Weinparcours + music)
Getting There Like a Local
If driving is a must, here’s the insider move: park at Handrichshof (the farm on the left side of the road from Meckenheim to Haßloch). It’s the locals’ secret spot with plenty of space and just a short walk to the festival grounds. The official parking gets packed faster than you can say “Riesling.”
Ready to sip, dance, and explore? Meckenheim’s finest wines are waiting. 🍷
