Wine Festival in the Winzerhöfe Burrweiler

Since 1967 — One of the Oldest Courtyard Festivals in the Palatinate

The Wine Festival in the Winzerhöfe Burrweiler was launched in 1967, making it one of the oldest decentralized wine festivals in the Palatinate. The idea – winemakers opening their own courtyards instead of a central festival ground – was new at the time and established a format that later became a model in many Palatinate wine villages. Burrweiler has consistently maintained and refined this concept for almost six decades.

Representative Wine Selection from Burrweiler

The Burrweiler wineries present their representative wine selection directly at the place of cultivation and vinification. The vineyard sites Burrweiler Schäwer, St. Annaberg, and Altenforst are among the recognized top sites of the Südliche Weinstraße. Riesling, white and Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, cuvées, sparkling wines, and rosé offer a dense selection that wine lovers can experience in a concentrated manner.

Old School, Rectory, and Cellar as Extensions

What makes the Burrweiler format special is the integration of historical buildings beyond the winemakers' courtyards. The Old School, the rectory, and a shared cellar serve as additional venues – with tasting stands, small exhibitions, or special presentations. This architectural depth gives the festival a special atmosphere.

Burrweiler on the Südliche Weinstraße

Burrweiler has around 1,100 inhabitants and is located between Edenkoben and Annweiler, at the foot of the Vorderpfalz mountains. The historic village center with its broad winemakers' courtyards, sandstone houses, and narrow alleys has been largely preserved. The village belongs to the Edenkoben collective municipality and is a stage on the Südliche Weinstraße – the Wine Festival in the Winzerhöfe is its social highlight.
