The Middle Mosel's largest wine festival, set in the picture-postcard half-timbered town of Bernkastel-Kues. For five days each September, the town's medieval market square transforms into an open-air wine bar, with over 40 Mosel Riesling producers pouring. Fireworks over the river and a festival parade are highlights.
