BurgWeinFest Burg Blomendal

Wine in historic walls

There are nicer places for a glass of wine than a castle — but not many. The BurgWeinFest makes exactly that possible: For a late summer weekend, the courtyard of Burg Blomendal in Bremen-Blumenthal becomes an open wine garden. From August 28 to 30, 2026, the festival invites you to linger daily from 3 p.m., until 11 p.m. on Sunday — with free admission and in the impressive setting of the historic moated castle.

Selected wines and hearty cuisine

The focus is on selected wines from various German growing regions. To accompany them, there's down-to-earth food for your hunger: hearty bratwurst, crispy fries, and small bites that pair well with wine. The band Jester's Mind from Lemwerder provides the musical accompaniment with a mix of rock, pop, blues, and soul. Over three days, this creates a relaxed late summer atmosphere between wine tasting, live music, and the cozy castle courtyard.

A meeting point in Bremen-Nord

The BurgWeinFest is a recurring festival and firmly anchored in the event calendar of Bremen-Nord. It attracts wine lovers, neighbors, and day-trippers alike and combines enjoyment with the special atmosphere of a historic site — a piece of lived cultural work around the castle.

Burg Blomendal in Blumenthal

The venue is Burg Blomendal on Auestraße in the Blumenthal district, one of Bremen's northernmost quarters. The medieval moated castle is a landmark of the district and gives the wine festival its unmistakable setting.
