Wein on the Water is one of the most unusual format events of the Koblenz Wine Festival. The pop-up wine cruise combines regional wine culture with a boat trip on the Rhine – and thus two of Koblenz's most important identity elements.

MS Stadt Vallendar

The event takes place on board the MS Stadt Vallendar, a classic Rhine passenger ship with three decks. Each deck can have its own atmosphere: festival wines and catering on the main deck, dance floor and DJ booth on the upper deck, cozy lounge on the lower deck.

Dates 2026

The 2026 season includes three wine cruises:

  • May 23, 2026, 5 PM to 11 PM (Evening Cruise): already sold out.
  • June 14, 2026, 12 PM to 5 PM (Day Cruise): Availability upon publication.
  • June 27, 2026, 5 PM to 11 PM (Evening Cruise): already sold out.

Program

Festival wines will be served on board – a cross-section of the Mosel, Middle Rhine, Ahr, and Rheinhessen wine regions. DJ Copy & Paste will be playing on the dance floor, with catering offering snacks and small dishes.

Getting There

Departure is from Pier 9 at Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer, in close proximity to the Deutsches Eck. Easily accessible on foot from Koblenz Central Station (about 20 minutes) or by bus.
