At the end of August and beginning of September, the Stadtpark once again becomes the top address for wine lovers. Then the spacious green area with rose garden forms the romantic backdrop for the largest Mainz wine festival.
Mainly wines from Mainz and Rheinhessen, but also from the Rheingau or the Nahe can be tasted at the wine market. In the wine village of the Great Wine Capitals, a different international wine capital presents itself every year. At the sparkling wine festival in the Rose Garden, at the long seating areas throughout the grounds or sitting on the large meadows, you can extensively taste, chat and celebrate.
Locals and guests quickly strike up a conversation. Perhaps about the typical Rhine-Hessian wine vocabulary? Tip: If you only want to enjoy a small sip after your "Spundekäs", it's best to order a "Piffche". After all, drinking the 0.1-liter glass takes no longer than a whistle.
Whoever is in the mood for arts and crafts is in good hands at the artists' market in the Rose Garden. The festival's younger guests can romp to their hearts' content on the children's lawn by the Flamingo Pond on both weekends. Whether it's bouncing on the bouncy castle, face painting for children or a bit of listening and browsing through the book boxes in the reading tent of the library at the cathedral, there is something for every temperament.
