Saisonauftakt Weinland Nahe

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.
