Brander Weinfest Aachen

Already in its second edition, the Brander Weinfest 2025 had established itself as a fixture in Aachen's event calendar. As with the premiere in 2023, the IG Brander Handel, Handwerk und Gewerbe e.V. (Association of Brand Trade, Craft, and Commerce) and the Aachen-based specialist shop Weinfreund organized the festival on the market square in the Brand district.

Seven wineries from Mosel, Pfalz, and Rheinhessen — including Lenes, Petry & Frieß, and Zöller — served white, red, and rosé wines. The street food area Le Marché France complemented the offerings with French cheese specialties, crêpes, Flammkuchen, and bowls. On the festival Sunday, shops along Trierer Straße opened their doors for Sunday shopping. The weekend attracted several thousand guests from Aachen and the surrounding area, confirming the idea of holding the festival annually.
