Hachenburg Wine and Delicacy Festival

Hachenburg in Late Summer

When the summer heat subsides in September and the Westerwald region prepares for the harvest season, the atmosphere on Hachenburg's Old Market is particularly inviting. The Wine and Delicacy Festival takes advantage of this late summer climate, combining the coziness of mild evenings with the high-quality offerings of wines and culinary specialties.

Wine from German Growing Regions

The Westerwald itself is not a classic wine-growing region — all the more reason to appreciate the festival's format, which brings various German wine regions to Hachenburg. Mosel, Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Nahe, Mittelrhein, and other growing regions are typically represented. Wineries or specialized wine merchants present their wines and enable comparative tastings.

Delicacy Offerings

The festival's delicacy offerings follow a clear principle: quality over quantity. Food stands, catering providers, and local gastronomy present dishes that match the atmosphere and the wines on offer. Classics of German cuisine, regional specialties, and international accents form a delightful selection.

Werbering Hachenburg as Organizer

The festival is organized by Werbering Hachenburg in cooperation with the City of Hachenburg. Werbering is the interest group for retailers and restaurateurs in the Löwenstadt and organizes numerous events throughout the year — from the summer festival and the Wine and Delicacy Festival to the nostalgic Christmas market in December.

The Old Market as a Venue

As with many Hachenburg festivals, the baroque Old Market, with its historic townhouses, the town hall, and the nearby castle complex, forms the natural backdrop. This location lends the Wine and Delicacy Festival an extraordinary atmosphere and makes it one of the region's most beautiful enjoyment festivals.
