A Wine Festival with a Sea View
Westerland is the largest town on Sylt in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, in the district of Nordfriesland. The promenade is one of the most frequented promenades in Germany. It is precisely here that the Sylt Tourismus-Service GmbH (ISTS) hosts the Westerländer Winzerfest every year in early July: a long, six-day wine open-air event that opens the island up culinarily during peak season.
More Than Twenty Vintners
Around twenty wineries present their wines directly at their stands – from Emil Bauer from Pfalz to the organic winery Hubertushof on the Mosel, to Kiefer from Baden, plus several from Rheinhessen and international guests from Italy and even Tenerife. You walk from stand to stand, get a pour, taste, compare – a true wine tasting festival, not an elitist, high-priced salon.
What You Eat
- Flammkuchen from Pfalz
- Grilled salmon from an open fire
- Scampi and fried fish
- Specialty sausages and cheese from regional producers
Music and Atmosphere
Live music plays daily in the Musikmuschel on the promenade – mostly acoustic, swing, light pop. The audience mixes: regular Sylt guests, island residents, day-trippers. Anyone who combines wine and the promenade comes to the Winzerfest – free entry with Sylt guest card, tasting sips included.
