Mühlacker Wine Festival

Wine Festival at the Historic Kelterplatz

Mühlacker is located in the Württemberg wine region, in the Enzkreis district of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The Kelterplatz in the city center refers to the centuries-old vineyard tradition of the city and the surrounding wine villages (Lienzingen, Mühlhausen, Lomersheim, Großglattbach, Enzberg). Here, the Mühlacker City Management will host the Mühlacker Wine Festival on July 24, 2026 — a one-day summer wine festival focusing on Württemberg classics.

Württemberg Wines in a Relaxed Atmosphere

The focus is on wines from the region: Trollinger, Lemberger, Schwarzriesling, Riesling, Weißburgunder, Müller-Thurgau, and occasionally Cuvées or selection wines. The participating wineries and cooperatives come from the region — Mühlacker-Lienzingen, Mühlhausen, Lomersheim, as well as the surrounding Württemberg wine villages. Tasting is done in an open format at the vintner's stand; bottle sales are available on-site.

Kelterplatz as a Festival Scene

The Kelterplatz is one of the central historic squares in the city — named after the 'Kelter' (wine press) where grapes were traditionally pressed. Today, the square serves as an urban summer meeting point; on festival days, it is enlivened with high tables, beer bench sets, and small stages. The setting is deliberately relaxed, without a large festival tent, offering a casual summer evening with wine, specialties, and conversation.

Mühlacker in the Enzkreis

Mühlacker, with just under 27,000 inhabitants, is a central town in the Enzkreis district, located between Pforzheim and Vaihingen an der Enz. The city is known for its Mühlacker transmitter (medium-wave transmitter, for a long time the most important transmitter in Southern Germany) and for its vineyard sites stretching south of the city. In the state of Baden-Württemberg, Mühlacker belongs to the Württemberg wine landscape with its typical red wines — the Mühlacker Wine Festival is the annual urban staging of this profile.
