Four Days of Wine Enjoyment in the Heart of Rinteln
The Rinteln Wine Days take place in the first week of October, utilizing the extended German Unity Day weekend for four festival days dedicated to wine. The venue is the Kirchplatz in the center of the old town, framed by the St. Nikolai Church and the surrounding half-timbered buildings. This historic setting lends a special character to the wine presentation.
Wine Trade and Partner Restaurants
At the sales stands, regional wine merchants and sometimes vintners present a diverse selection of white, rosé, red, and sparkling wines. The focus is on German growing regions – Rheingau, Mosel, Franken, Pfalz, Baden – supplemented by selected European vintages. Numerous Rinteln restaurants participate as partners and offer suitable dishes: Flammkuchen, cheese platters, game dishes, tapas, and Mediterranean specialties.
Sunday Opening Hours on October 4th
The highlight of the festival weekend is the Sunday opening hours on October 4th, 2026. The shops in Rinteln's city center open their doors, offering an attractive shopping experience. The combination of wine tasting, shopping spree, and city gastronomy makes Sunday a particularly busy festival day.
Atmosphere and Audience
The Wine Days have established themselves as a high-quality, sophisticated event. The audience appreciates the relaxed atmosphere, the competent advice at the stands, and the opportunity to discover new wines. Standing tables, seating, and atmospheric lighting invite visitors to linger.
