About St.-Remigius-Weinkirmes

The St.-Remigius-Weinkirmes in Kröv has been held annually around October 1st since 1962 – the feast day of Saint Remigius. In 2026, the historic Weinbrunnenhalle „Kröver Nacktarsch“ on the Moselle riverbank will open its doors from October 2nd to 4th for one of the most traditional wine festivals of the Middle Moselle. The focus is on the wines of Kröv vintners from the famous „Kröver Nacktarsch“ vineyard, accompanied by a musical program and a relaxed, very regionally rooted atmosphere.

A Tradition Since 1962

The St.-Remigius-Weinkirmes was established in 1962 and has been an integral part of the Kröv festival calendar ever since. It honors Saint Remigius (feast day October 1st), the patron saint of the Kröv parish church, and simultaneously celebrates the end of the summer festival season on the Moselle. For over six decades, the festival has preserved its original, village-warm atmosphere.

The Weinbrunnenhalle „Kröver Nacktarsch“

The venue is the Weinbrunnenhalle „Kröver Nacktarsch“ on the Moselle riverbank. The unusual name originates from a local legend and is now one of Germany's best-known vineyard designations: The „Kröver Nacktarsch“ vineyard is among the traditional vineyards of the Middle Moselle and is cultivated by various family wineries in the region. The wine hall named after it is a historic building, whose interior transforms into a lively festival hall during the Kirmes.

Wines of the Kröv Vintners

The St.-Remigius-Weinkirmes is primarily a festival for local vintners. The Kröv wineries present their Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Weißburgunder, and Spätburgunder wines by the glass, along with sparkling wines, Federweißer (depending on the season), and specialties. Those who want to try the „Kröver Nacktarsch“ – a typically fruity, elegant Riesling – will find an ideal opportunity here to get to know several vintners in comparison.

Music and Accompanying Program

The Kröv Music Association organizes the festival and shapes the musical program. Over the three days, music bands, cover bands, and dance groups alternate. Regional dishes – Bratwurst, Schiefertaler ham, Flammkuchen, Winzervesper, cheese platters – complement the wine offerings.
