About Saisonauftakt Nahe

The Saisonauftakt Weinland Nahe is the grand enjoyment weekend of the Nahe winemakers and will enter its 4th edition in 2026. For four days in mid-April, numerous wineries throughout the Nahe wine-growing region will open their doors and invite visitors to individual programs. Bad Kreuznach with its districts Kornmarkt, Winzenheim, and Bosenheim, Langenlonsheim, Sommerloch, Niederhausen, Bretzenheim, Waldböckelheim, Gutenberg, and many other wine villages are participating. Each winery designs its own program: cellar tours, courtyard wine tastings, brunches, live music in the courtyard, combinations with regional cuisine. The Saisonauftakt officially marks the beginning of the Nahe wine festival season and offers lovers of Nahe wines the opportunity to visit several wineries over a weekend and experience the full diversity of the region.

The Nahe Wine Region

The Nahe wine-growing region lies between Rheinhessen and the Mosel and, with around 4,200 hectares of vineyards, is one of Germany's medium-sized wine-growing regions. The diversity of soils, from slate and porphyry to sandstone, creates an unusual range of wine types. The Rieslings from the Nahe, in particular, enjoy international renown, complemented by the region's Spätburgunder and other specialties.

Four-Day Enjoyment Weekend

The Saisonauftakt spans four days, utilizing the long weekend for a packed program. Those who wish can use Thursday and Friday to visit a first winery, but the full program is best experienced on Saturday and Sunday. The spatial distribution of the wineries across the entire growing region makes some planning advisable.

Participating Wine Villages

Bad Kreuznach with its districts Kornmarkt, Winzenheim, and Bosenheim, Langenlonsheim, Sommerloch, Niederhausen, Bretzenheim, Waldböckelheim, Gutenberg, and numerous other villages are participating. The exact lists of participants can be found on the official website of Weinland Nahe.

Individual Programs

The special feature of the Saisonauftakt: each winery designs its own program. Some offer cellar tours with tastings, others invite guests for brunch in their courtyard, while others organize concerts or combine wine tasting with regional cuisine. The diversity of programs reflects the individual identity of the wineries.

Saisonauftakt Nahe — edition 2026

The 4th Saisonauftakt Weinland Nahe will take place from Thursday, April 16 to Sunday, April 19, 2026. Numerous wineries in the Nahe wine-growing region will open their doors and invite visitors to individual programs. Participating locations include Bad Kreuznach with Kornmarkt, Winzenheim, and Bosenheim, Langenlonsheim, Sommerloch, Niederhausen, Bretzenheim, Waldböckelheim, and Gutenberg, among others.

The concept of the Saisonauftakt: Instead of a central festival, a decentralized enjoyment weekend where visitors decide for themselves which wineries they want to visit. The individual design of each winery creates variety and allows visitors to experience the diversity of the Nahe in one weekend.
