Middle Moselle Wine Festival, Bernkastel-Keus | Sept. 4-8, 2025

An easy day trip one and a half hours from the KMCC, this is one of the most popular wine festivals to attend. The highlight is trying local wines from the Moselle region which lies along the wine route. The program includes plenty of other attractions like the traditional Moselle Flower Evening as well as a grand parade and a magical fireworks display.

There will be live music spread across five stages while you sip wine and enjoy tasty festival food like kartoffelpuffer mit apfelmus (potato pancakes with freshly made apple sauce). If you attend on Friday, don’t miss the coronation of the new Mosella, the wine queen of Bernkastel-Keus.
