Summer wine event series every Thursday from May to September on the Römerplatz in Kirchheimbolanden
“After-Work-Wine” on the Römerplatz in Kirchheimbolanden is a summer wine event series held every Thursday from May to September. Various wineries from the Pfalz and surrounding wine-growing regions present their wines weekly in the historic ambiance of the Kleine Residenz. The format combines after-work atmosphere with wine enjoyment and is a popular meeting point for the KiBo community and its guests.
In 2026, the series runs from May to September – every Thursday from 6 PM to 11 PM. Free admission, wines à la carte directly from the respective vintners. The weekly repetition creates rhythm and reliability – a fixed date in the weekly calendar for many citizens and regular visitors.
The “After-Work-Wine” concept combines the after-work mood with Palatinate wine culture. Thursday is the ideal day of the week: the workday is over, the weekend is approaching, and a glass of wine in a beautiful city center square creates the perfect transition. The historic squares of German cities thus become open-air living rooms.
The Römerplatz in the old town of Kirchheimbolanden is an ideal venue: manageable, surrounded by historic buildings, easily accessible, and with enough space for several stands and seating. The mild summer and early autumn weather transforms the square into a meeting point for the KiBo community, its guests, and regional tourists.
A special feature of the series is the rotation of wineries: each week, a different winery comes to Kirchheimbolanden and presents its wines. This creates a diverse wine tour over the season without having to leave home. Riesling, Burgundy varieties, Silvaner, red wines – the spectrum is broad. The vintners are available for conversations and advice.
The format is accessible: free admission, no reservation needed, easy come and go. Wine is sold by the glass, and accompanying snacks (bread, cheese, sausage, small bites) complement the offering. This accessibility makes “After-Work-Wine” a democratic wine format that appeals to both wine connoisseurs and beginners.
