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.
