About Wein-Meile Rachtig
Wein-Meile Rachtig — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the proven concept. The seven participating stations coordinate their opening hours and joint marketing, but retain their individual atmosphere. Visitors receive an overview map of the stations at the entrance to the Wein-Meile.
The format is particularly suitable for weekend trips to the Middle Mosel: those arriving on Friday evening can experience the after-work atmosphere, make full use of Saturday, and start a relaxed journey home on Sunday afternoon with a final glass.

Seven Stations, One Mile
The Wein-Meile Rachtig focuses on a clearly structured concept: Seven vintners and restaurateurs along a continuous festival mile through the Rachtig district open their courtyards, barns, and outdoor areas to form a joint festival route. Visitors walk between the stations, taste wines directly from the vintners, and enjoy regional dishes.
From Late Summer Aperitif to Evening Festivities
The program starts on Friday, August 28th, 2026, from 4 PM – ideal for a late summer aperitif after work. On Saturday and Sunday, the stations open from 11 AM, making the festival suitable for early drinks and family afternoons. The atmosphere changes throughout the day: calm and contemplative at midday, lively and convivial in the evening.
Seven Different Styles
The seven participating stations differ in style and concept: Some vintners focus on classic wine tasting in the vinotheque, others offer courtyard festivals with live music and an extensive food menu, while others organize intimate tastings in barns or courtyards. This diversity is the special charm of the Wein-Meile: seven very different Mosel wineries and gastronomic concepts can be experienced on a single route.
A Late Summer Alternative
In the dense Mosel event calendar, the Wein-Meile Rachtig offers an attractive alternative to the big folk festivals and wine fairs: more compact in format, more personal in interaction, more concentrated in quality, and in a very authentic village setting.
