As soon as the thermometer reads more than 30 degrees Celsius, it not only means that summer has finally arrived, but also that the wine festival season has begun.
The beginnings of German wine festivals date back to the 15th century. Century. However, many customs have survived to this day, such as the traditional opening of the festival by the wine queens as representatives of a particular wine-growing region. As wine lovers, we have started a wine festival search for you and selected the most beautiful summer wine festivals for you.
