Open Wine Cellar Day in Baden-Baden's Rebland

Program 2026

The 2026 edition uses the classic late April date, when the spring vintages of the previous year are freshly ready for sale and the Rebland slopes are showing their first buds. Throughout the day — 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM — you can freely move between the 14 participating wineries and 7 restaurants in the four districts.

New for 2026: the Fruit and Wine Trail in the Rebland will be officially opened. A new themed hiking trail that runs along vines and fruit crops, making the connection between viticulture and fruit growing tangible — a historically important aspect of the Rebland, which is not only wine country but also fruit country (cherries, plums, quinces).

Shuttle Bus Service: from Baden-Baden train station via Sinzheim to the Rebland, and then between the participating wineries. Exact routes and departure times can be found in the program flyer and at foerderverein-rebland.de.

Getting There

By train: ICE and regional connection to Baden-Baden — Shuttle bus from the station via Sinzheim directly to the Rebland (route information in the program flyer). By car: A5 exit Baden-Baden, then towards Steinbach/Neuweier/Varnhalt — parking available at the wineries.

Admission

Admission to the wine cellars: free — wine tastings are paid for directly at the vintner (typically €2–4 per tasting, often with a credit towards bottle purchase). Restaurants à la carte.

Tip

Do not come by car — you want to taste wine! The shuttle bus or train + shuttle is the right choice. For hikers: connect 2–3 wineries per day at a relaxed pace on foot, plan a break in a restaurant. Those who want to try the new Fruit and Wine Trail should ask for a map at the starting point.

Accommodation

Hotels in Baden-Baden, from Lichtentaler Allee to the Kurhaus, or family-run guesthouses directly in the Rebland villages. Those seeking an authentic wine experience can stay in a Rebland inn in Neuweier or Steinbach.
