Pinneberger Weinfest

A Summer Festival with a Long Tradition

Since the early 1990s, Stadtmarketing Pinneberg has invited visitors to the Weinfest on Drosteiplatz at the beginning of July each year. What began small has developed into one of the most important summer events in the Pinneberg district — the 33rd edition in 2026 marks remarkable consistency for a city festival in Schleswig-Holstein.

Drosteiplatz as the Festival Setting

Drosteiplatz, located right in the center of Pinneberg, transforms into an open-air wine tavern for four days. High tables, benches, and small lounges create a convivial atmosphere where you can move from stand to stand and sample the offerings — without a fixed program, without an entrance fee, simply flowing with a summer evening.

The Offerings

• German Wine Regions — Riesling from the Rhine and Mosel, Spätburgunder, Silvaner, Weißburgunder, German sparkling wines
• International Wines — France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, complementary overseas vintages
• Culinary Delights — Flammkuchen, cheese platters, Mediterranean tapas, regional specialties
• Live Music on stage — mostly cover bands and jazz bands in the evenings

An Audience from the Entire District

The Weinfest attracts visitors from the entire Pinneberg district as well as from Hamburg and the surrounding area. Unlike larger festivals, it has a relaxed, almost familiar character — many regular guests return every year, often groups of friends and neighbors who plan an evening together.

In the Pinneberg District, Schleswig-Holstein

Pinneberg is the district town of the district of the same name on the Pinnau river, just 20 km northwest of Hamburg. The Weinfest is part of a vibrant city festival calendar, including the Pinneberger Weihnachtsdorf, SummerJazz, Open-Air Cinema, and the CSD — almost everything takes place on or around Drosteiplatz, the unofficial heart of the city.
