Weinfest der Mittelmosel — Bernkastel-Kues
Five days of Mosel Riesling celebration in Germany's most picturesque wine town, where the half-timbered Marktplatz sets a fairy-tale backdrop for three stages of live music and wines from 20+ top Mosel estates. The coronation of a new wine queen, a grand Sunday procession through the medieval alleyways, and floating wine boats on the Mosel make this the Mosel's most theatrical festival.
