The Great Palatinate Wine Tasting is one of the most renowned and traditional Palatinate wine tastings — and in 2026, it celebrates its 60th edition. A significant anniversary that honors an unbroken tradition since 1966.
The Pfalzweinprobe takes place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 4 PM in the Festsaal Saalbau Neustadt — one of the central events of the 2026 German Wine Harvest Festival in the final week before the grand vintner parade.
The organizer is the Palatinate Wine Brotherhood, a traditional association of Palatinate wine personalities, patrons, and lovers of Palatinate wine culture. The Wine Brotherhood is dedicated to preserving Palatinate wine tradition and promoting the Palatinate wine industry. Its events — especially the Pfalzweinprobe — are among the most quality-conscious and expert-led in the region.
The format is a commented wine presentation: The wines are presented in a thoughtful sequence, with each wine tasting professionally commented on by a Palatinate wine expert or a member of the Wine Brotherhood. Participants learn details about the vineyard site, vintage, vinification, and stylistic classification — a valuable educational experience that goes far beyond a simple tasting.
The selected wines each year represent the diversity and quality of the Palatinate: Riesling from famous Große Lagen (Grand Cru sites), Burgundy specialties, Palatinate sweet wines, and occasionally international comparison wines to contextualize the Palatinate style. The selection is carefully curated by the Wine Brotherhood.
The event is aimed at expert wine lovers — oenologists, sommeliers, winemakers, wine journalists, and passionate private guests. The atmosphere is focused and respectful, with a blend of Palatinate conviviality and serious oenological engagement. A must-attend event for Palatinate insiders.

The event is part of the rich Palatinate festival culture, which attracts thousands of guests to the Neustadt an der Weinstraße region every year. The combination of wine culture, Palatinate hospitality, and established festival traditions forms the unmistakable identity of this Palatinate festival institution.
