Leiwener Weinfest (Moseltourer meets Weinfest)

A Crossover Format on the Mosel

For decades, the Mosel has been one of Germany's most popular motorcycle regions — the winding riverside roads and the Hunsrück ascents attract bikers from all over the country. With Moseltourer meets Weinfest, the local municipality of Leiwen has created a format that specifically appeals to this community and connects it with Mosel wine culture. Those arriving by motorcycle will find wine, food, and live music — those who come for the wine will immerse themselves in a motorcycle culture typical of the Mosel region.

The Mosel as a Biker's Paradise

The B53 along the Mosel from Trier to Koblenz, the Hunsrück-Höhenstraße, and the Eifel passes make the region one of the most popular destinations for touring riders. Leiwen is strategically located between Trier and Bernkastel-Kues and is a natural stopover point. The Moseltourer meet has established itself as a regional biker meeting and was combined with the wine festival format in 2025.

Wine and Motorcycles

The program combines typical Mosel wine festival elements (wine stands of Leiwen vintners, food stalls, live music) with motorcycle themes: exhibition of classic and modern bikes, guided Mosel tours, technical exchange. The event is clearly aimed at an adult audience and differs from the main festival, the Leiwener Weinfest (August 14–17, 2026).

Date for 2026 Still Open

The date for 2026 has not yet been confirmed at the time of going to press. The crossover event usually takes place in the summer. The final date will be communicated by the local municipality of Leiwen in spring/summer 2026 via its event page.
