Wein & Wiese – Klostermühlenhof Ruzycki

Wein & Wiese is the annual courtyard festival of Weingut Klostermühlenhof Ruzycki in Hahnheim, a small wine village in the Rhein-Selz municipality in southern Rheinhessen. It traditionally takes place on Ascension Day and is one of the region's popular season-opening festivals.

With its spacious garden, the Klostermühlenhof offers the ideal setting for a relaxed summer festival. Families spread blankets on the meadow, groups of friends sit at beer tables under trees, and the winery itself becomes both a wine shop and a stage. For eight hours, from 2 PM to 10 PM, you can linger here without time pressure and without a fixed program.

The focus of the hospitality is on the wines from Weingut Klostermühlenhof Ruzycki: Rieslings, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Rosé, and Pinot Noir. In parallel, guided wine tastings are offered in the wine shop, where the Ruzycki family explains their wines and specifically highlights the characteristics of the individual vineyard sites.

The culinary accompaniment includes Rheinhessen specialties such as Flammkuchen (flatbread pizza), Spundekäs (cheese dip), and Handkäs mit Musik (marinated cheese with onions), as well as warm dishes from the grill. Sweet specialties like cakes and ice cream are also on offer.

There is a separate children's area with play activities, making the festival attractive for families with young guests. Starting at 6 PM, the musical part of the festival begins with live music. The bands vary from year to year, usually playing a relaxed repertoire of pop, rock, and acoustic music that atmospherically accompanies the courtyard festival without dominating it.

Wein & Wiese at Klostermühlenhof Ruzycki is a typical example of Rheinhessen's courtyard festival culture: family-run, hospitable, with high-quality wine at its center, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger for hours.
