Pankow Wine Festival

About Pankow Wine Festival

Every autumn, the market square at Breiten Straße in Berlin-Pankow transforms into a classic German wine festival for a weekend. At the Pankower Winzerfest, vintners from several German growing regions present their wines, sparkling wines, and liqueurs. Fresh Federweißer (new wine) and the mythological figures of Bacchus and the Wine Queen have been part of the format for years. Free admission. The 2019 edition was the 27th – making the festival one of Berlin's oldest regular wine festivals. Date for 2026 not yet published; the event traditionally takes place at the end of October (Friday to Sunday).

Fresh Federweißer from the current harvest complements the offerings. Accompanying cheese, sausage, bread, and sweet stalls are available.

Pankow as a Wine Village for Three Days

Pankow in Berlin's northeast is a bourgeois residential area with a long-standing market tradition – the weekly market at Breiten Straße has been a meeting point for the neighborhood for decades. Once a year, Berlin wine lovers use this square for a three-day wine festival that doesn't try to compete with the great Rhenish classics, but creates a relaxed, village-like atmosphere in the middle of Berlin.

Vintners from Several Regions

The core of the festival is formed by vintner families from several German growing regions – traditionally Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Mosel, Franken, and Baden, supplemented by international stalls. They serve wine from their current vintage, offer Federweißer (fresh, still fermenting wine), and complement it with sparkling wines, late harvests, and in some years, liqueurs. The offerings are supplemented by cheese and sausage specialties, as well as sweet stalls with chestnuts, roasted almonds, and gingerbread.

Stage Program

Over the weekend, several acts (singer-songwriters, folk and Schlager formats, cover bands) perform on the stage at the market square. Highlights include the ritual appearances of Bacchus and the Wine Queen, who open the festival with a small performance and are present at several points throughout the weekend.

Pankow – A District with Its Own Identity

Pankow belongs to the Pankow district and is located in Berlin's northeast. Visitors to the wine festival can complement their visit with a walk in Bürgerpark Pankow, a classically designed public park, or take a detour to Schlosspark Schönhausen, the former summer palace of the Prussian royal family.
