Weinfest Langenlonsheim – Wine Hike Day Straußi läuft (2nd Date)

Wine, Hiking, and Sociability on the Nahe

With over 350 hectares of vineyards, Langenlonsheim is one of the largest wine-growing communities in the Nahe region. The "Straußi läuft" wine hike day combines two pillars of village life twice a year: the vineyards and the Straußwirtschaften, those seasonally open farm taverns where vintners are allowed to serve their own wine and simple food.

On the second date in 2026, Saturday, July 25th, the program starts at 3 PM. Participants make their way independently or in loose groups along the vineyard paths, stopping at participating Straußwirtschaften to sample Riesling, Silvaner, Weißburgunder, as well as rosé and light red wines from the current vintage. Regional dishes are also served at the stops: "Winzervesper" (vintner's snack), Flammkuchen, fresh salads, and, in season, Federweißer (young wine) with onion cake.

A Tradition, Two Dates Per Season

The wine hike day takes place annually on two Saturdays – one in late spring, one in mid-summer. The two dates allow participants to experience the vineyards during different stages of vegetation: during the first date, the vines are in full growth; during the second, the grapes are already clearly visible.

Discover the Nahe Region

Langenlonsheim is located in the heart of the Nahe wine region, between Bingen am Rhein and Bad Kreuznach. The area is famous for its mineral-driven white wines, especially Riesling, and for an exceptional diversity of soil types in a small area. The wine hike day is an accessible way to discover this richness without formal tastings or lengthy explanations – wine, landscape, and conviviality are the focus.
