About Frühlingsmarkt Herxheim

The Frühlingsmarkt Herxheim am Berg opens the festival season of the northern Mittelhaardt. On the weekend before Easter, the Herxheim am Berg Winemakers' Cooperative invites you to its premises, combining wine service, market stalls, and spring decorations into an atmospheric spring event. The focus is on the first bottled wines of the new vintage — fresh Rieslings, crisp Pinot Blancs, fruity Rosé wines, and sparkling wine from their own production. This is complemented by culinary specialties, decorative items for Easter, and plants for the home garden. Herxheim am Berg, with its unmistakable location on the hill above the Rhine plain, also offers a wide view of the Palatinate landscape — an ideal place to herald the Palatinate spring.

Spring Begins on the Mountain

Herxheim am Berg bears its name for good reason: the Palatinate wine village is located on a hill above the Rhine plain and offers a wide view over the Vorderpfalz to the Odenwald. When the first warm sunny days herald the Palatinate spring on the weekend before Easter, the Herxheim am Berg Winemakers' Cooperative opens its doors for the traditional Frühlingsmarkt.

First Bottled Wines of the New Vintage

The focus is on the presentation of the first bottled wines of the current vintage. The Winemakers' Cooperative serves its freshly bottled Rieslings, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Rosé wines, and sparkling wine. For wine lovers, this is one of the first opportunities of the year to get an overview of the style of the new vintage — early impressions that can be deepened later in the year by comparison with other Palatinate producers.

More Than Just Wine

The Frühlingsmarkt is more than just a wine event. At the market stalls, visitors will find spring decorations for Easter, plants and flowers for the garden and balcony, regional food products, jams, honey, cheese, olive oil, and handicrafts. The combination of wine and market makes the day a relaxing excursion suitable for the whole family.

Culinary Specialties

Local restaurateurs provide Palatinate specialties — Saumagen, Bratwurst, Flammkuchen, Palatinate sausage salad, vegetarian alternatives — as well as sweet treats suitable for Easter. Those who want to start spring in the Palatinate in a cozy way will find the ideal date here.
