Nußdorfer Weinkerwe

Wine Village Nußdorf

Nußdorf is one of the most famous wine villages on the Südliche Weinstraße and, as a city village, belongs to Landau. Its location on the slope of the Pfälzerwald, the historic buildings, and the large number of wineries shape its image. The Nußdorfer Weinkerwe is the festival highlight of the year and brings the entire village community together.

Opening in the Schoolyard

On Friday at 6 p.m., the traditional barrel tapping will take place in the Nußdorf schoolyard. With welcoming remarks, music, and the first glass of wine (Schoppen), the Kerwe officially begins. The organizers – local associations, the city, and the vintners – toast the festival weekend together.

Several Festival Grounds in the Village

What makes Nußdorf special is the spatial distribution of the festival: The fire department has its stall, the Landjugend runs the Kerwehof in Kirchstraße 44, TV 1913 Nußdorf serves food and drinks in the schoolyard, the Bauernkriegshaus courtyard houses the village shop stall, and several wineries – Münch, Sauer, Martinshof – open their courtyards and serve their own wines. Those who stroll through the village will move between different atmospheres, dishes, and wine lines.

Schoppenbus Between Landau and Nußdorf

On Friday and Saturday evenings, a Schoppenbus runs every 30 minutes from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. between the Alter Meßplatz in Landau's city center and Nußdorf. This makes traveling without a car convenient; the Schoppenbus has been a central element of the festival infrastructure for years.

One of the Highlights of the Landau Kerwe Season

The Nußdorfer Weinkerwe is considered by many Palatinate residents to be the highlight of the city village Kerwen. The combination of size, village character, wine variety, and Schoppenbus connection makes it a supra-regional attraction.
