Cologne Wine Week

The Cologne Wine Week 2025 took place in its usual 12-day format at Heumarkt in Cologne's Old Town. Free admission, 30 vintners from the major German wine regions — Pfalz, Rheinhessen, Nahe, Mosel, Ahr — personally managed the stalls and served their wines directly from the producer. Food such as bratwurst, fried potatoes, tarte flambée, sautéed mushrooms, and pretzels accompanied the wine service, while long tables and standing tables invited visitors to linger. 2025 was also the last edition at Heumarkt — for 2026, organizer Livinglemon GmbH decided in favor of the larger and better-connected Neumarkt.
