49th Rheingau Wine Week
Ten days, one wine region, over 100 stands - from August 14 to 23, 2026, the area around Marktkirche, Schlossplatz and the Dern'sche Gelände will once again be transformed into the "longest wine bar in the world".
The Rheingau Wine Week is being celebrated for the 49th time, with winegrowers from the Rheingau offering their wines and sparkling wines for tasting. The unique selling point of the Rheingau Wine Week is the special atmosphere on the squares between the town hall, market church and castle, in addition to the varied and local offerings.
Opening on August 14
The Rheingau Wine Week will officially open on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 5 p.m. on the stage in front of City Hall.
Culinary delights
This year on Schlossplatz, “Hessisches allerlei,” potato chips, and chocolate-covered strawberries are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine. At the Dern’schen Gelände, you’ll find galettes and crêpes, tarte flambée, and grilled skewers. "Käsereich"—known for its Dutch cheeses—and Wiesbaden’s "Hofköche" are teaming up for the first time to offer the perfect specialties to pair with Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and other wines. You can find the exact locations of all vendors on the map (opens in a new tab).
To keep the city clean during the festival, plastic tableware and cutlery will continue to be avoided, and there will once again be a three-euro deposit on reusable bottles.
Refreshment for a good cause
ESWE Versorgung has been ensuring this for decades during the Rheingau Wine Week. The Wiesbaden-based energy service provider always presents a new, limited edition collector's glass at its water stand (stand 54), where you can refresh yourself free of charge. This year's design by graphic designer Mirjam Pönisch shows a stylized woman with a wreath of flowers and flowing hair enjoying a glass of water - in keeping with the motto "It's time for ZwiWa - Zwischenwasser". The glass of water is available there for a donation of one euro. The proceeds will go to the Wiesbaden/Rheingau-Taunus Stroke Initiative.
