MWR Tour: Bad Durkheim Wine Fest

Bad Dürkheim's Wurstmarkt is known as the world's largest wine festival!

With a history of more than 600 years, Dürkheim's Wurstmarkt is the largest wine festival in the world. Bad Dürkheim is to wine, what Munich is to beer. Once a year, the placid spa town sees more than half a million people rush into town for the world's largest wine festival. Toasting with countless glasses of the best Rieslings, Pinot Noirs and Sekts the region has to offer. Wine is the centre of attention here, obviously, and guests can indulge in local wine at several locations across the festival. Just like Munich’s Oktoberfest, Bad Dürkheim sees a bunch of festive tents move onto the market plaza – one notable difference is: there’s no cover charge. The three Wurstmarkt tents put on a programs of live music and entertainment, serving regional culinary specialties and wine from all over the country. Do not miss the wine event with the biggest wine barrel and amount of wine in Germany!
