The Mainz Wine Breakfast - known to many as the Mainz Market Breakfast - is a very special highlight in Mainz on Saturdays from March to November. Enjoy your Schoppen (Mainz wine spritzer) from the Mainz winegrowers' stand and savour a bread roll and sausage - because the traditional Mainz breakfast consists of Weck, Worscht and Woi. If you prefer something vegetarian or sweet with your wine, you will also find something suitable at the numerous market stalls. This is because the wine breakfast - or market breakfast - directly adjoins the Mainz weekly market - one of the most beautiful markets in Germany. Mainz winegrowers look forward to your visit on Fischtorplatz, Leichhof and - new this year - on Tritonplatz next to the State Theatre.

Combine a Saturday stroll through Mainz city centre with an exclusive wine tasting in local retail outlets.
A total of 30 retail outlets in Mainz are making their shop space available to a total of 33 wineries. In the shops, the winegrowers welcome guests to offer them sips of their finest wines. On this day, immerse yourself in the world of top-class wine as well as in the shopping experience in Mainz city centre.
Wine enjoyment and a view of the Rhine in a relaxed Mainz atmosphere directly on the Mainz Rhine promenade between the Theodor Heuss Bridge and the Kaisertor are at the centre of the Mainz WeinUfer on Ascension Day weekend.
The spectacle is complemented by an extensive live programme: the focus of the event programme during the day is on informative lectures. So you can not only enjoy the weekend, but also learn more about (regional) wines and their specialities. In the evening, there will be a music and cultural programme on the central stage. Local artists and cultural initiatives in particular can shine here. The programme is organised by KUZ Kulturzentrum Mainz and Frankfurter Hof.

At the end of August and beginning of September, the city park becomes the first address for wine lovers and forms a special and romantic backdrop for the largest wine festival in Mainz: the Mainz Wine Market. Wines from Mainz and Rheinhessen in particular, but also from the Rheingau and Nahe, can be tasted in an idyllic atmosphere. Every year, a different international wine capital presents itself in the wine village of the Great Wine Capitals and visitors can look forward to the sparkling wine festival and an artists' market in the Rose Garden.
The Schlenderweinprobe, a wine walk including wine tasting at various stands, is once again part of this year's programme.

Federweißer is grape must that is still fermenting. This fermentation only begins after the grapes have been pressed and ends when the yeasts have converted all the fructose in the must into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The Federweisser season begins on a different date every year. In Mainz, there are several stalls every year where Federweißer - with the matching onion tart - is sold. The stands are located here:
