Summer Wine Time Untertürkheim

Summer Wine Time Untertürkheim — three days of wine and views

When the sun slowly sets over the Württemberg Mausoleum on the second-to-last weekend in August, bathing the Untertürkheim vineyards in golden light, the Sommerliche Wein-Zeit is back. From August 21 to 23, 2026, the wine terrace at Württembergstraße 70, Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, transforms into a three-day open-air wine bar — right in the vineyards, with one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the Stuttgart region. The festival is supported by two leading Untertürkheim wineries: Weinmanufaktur Untertürkheim and Weingut im Hattenloh.

Württemberg Mausoleum — the spectacular backdrop

The location is unique: the wine terrace is located directly below the Württemberg Mausoleum on the Württemberg — one of the prominent hills in the Neckar Valley. The Mausoleum is the neoclassical mausoleum chapel that King Wilhelm I. had built between 1819 and 1824 for his wife Queen Katharina Pawlowna, who died in 1819. Today, it stands as a striking landmark above the Neckar Valley — and is the spectacular backdrop for the Wein-Zeit. From the festival grounds, you have a wide panoramic view over the Untertürkheim vineyards, the Stuttgart city center, and the Neckar Valley.

Wines and sparkling wines from the two top wineries

The focus of the Wein-Zeit is the wines and sparkling wines from the two organizing wineries:

Weinmanufaktur Untertürkheim

Weinmanufaktur Untertürkheim is one of the best-known names in Württemberg viticulture, with approximately 250 hectares of vineyards. It produces the typical range of Württemberg wines: Trollinger, Lemberger, Riesling, Kerner, Spätburgunder, and sparkling wines from grapes grown on its own land.

Weingut im Hattenloh

Weingut im Hattenloh is a smaller, family-run winery with vineyards on the Württemberg hill and in Hattenloh. It has gained a reputation particularly for its high-quality Spätburgunder and unusual cuvées.

Program — Saturday Live Music, Sunday Jazz

The musical program is deliberately relaxed — no festival stage with headliners, but small live acts on the wine terrace:

• Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 7 p.m.: Live music with local acts — typically singer-songwriter, cover trio, light jazz, or Latin
• Sunday, August 23, 2026: Jazz brunch starting in the morning with local jazz combos and a relaxed brunch atmosphere

Atmosphere — relaxed, with a view

The atmosphere on the wine terrace is deliberately relaxed. You sit among the vines, overlooking the city and the Stuttgart mountains to the west, tasting wines from the typical Württemberg selection, enjoying bread, cheese, Maultaschen salads, ham platters, or a sweet tart. The evening lighting with fairy lights in the vines creates an intimate mood. Families are welcome — although the Wein-Zeit is primarily intended for adults.

Untertürkheim — the Stuttgart wine district

The district of Untertürkheim belongs to the Stuttgart district of Untertürkheim and lies on the right bank of the Neckar in the Stuttgart basin. It has been a wine-growing district for centuries — the slopes around the Württemberg hill are among the oldest wine-growing areas in southern Germany. However, Untertürkheim became famous primarily for the Mercedes-Benz plant Untertürkheim — the headquarters of Daimler and the birthplace of the automobile. This dual identity — wine and car — makes the district unique in Stuttgart's city history.
