About Graacher WEINZEIT

The Graacher WEINZEIT is the summer wine presentation of the Mosel winegrowing community of Graach. For two days, wine and food stalls transform the village center into an open festival mile where regional wineries present their current vintages. Rieslings grown between the 'Graacher Himmelreich', 'Graacher Domprobst', and 'Graacher Josephshöfer' vineyards shape the program and meet specialties of Mosel cuisine. A relaxed summer festival that celebrates the wine culture of the Middle Mosel without pomp, but with substance.

Graach and its Vineyards

Graach on the Mosel is one of Germany's most renowned winegrowing communities. The 'Graacher Himmelreich' and 'Graacher Domprobst' sites are among the classic Grand Cru sites of the Middle Mosel and are among the most frequently mentioned addresses in international Riesling literature. The steep slopes of blue Devonian slate give the wines their characteristic minerality and freshness.

WEINZEIT in the Village Center

For two days in August, Graach's vintners open their stalls in the village center. Unlike a classic winery festival, the WEINZEIT focuses on the central festival mile: here, participating wineries present their current wines, from dry Kabinetts to noble sweet Auslesen. Food stalls complement the offering with Flammkuchen, Winzervesper (vintner's snack), and seasonal specialties.

A Festival for Riesling Lovers

The Graacher WEINZEIT appeals to lovers of fine Mosel Rieslings as well as occasional visitors. The open atmosphere allows for direct conversations with the vintners and their families. Those who want to taste several wineries in comparison will find the ideal stage here.

By Train or by Boat

Graach is conveniently located between Bernkastel-Kues and Wehlen and is easily accessible by the Mosel railway and by boat. Travel by public transport is recommended due to the wine service.

Graacher WEINZEIT — edition 2026

The 2026 edition of the Graacher WEINZEIT will take place on August 14th and 15th in the village center. For two days, Graach vintners will present their current vintages at stalls along the festival mile. Accompanying food stalls will offer Flammkuchen, Winzervesper, and regional specialties. Free admission, payment directly to the vendors.

The WEINZEIT is part of the festival calendar of the municipality of Graach and precedes other events such as the village festival Schäferei and the open winery days during Pentecost.
