Bad Duerkheim (Wurstmarktplatz)annual, two weekends starting the second Friday in September10 days
A 1417-founded September fair that draws around 600,000 visitors to Bad Duerkheim across two long weekends. More than 30 Schubkarchstaende grower stands pour Pfalz Riesling and Spaetburgunder at the foot of the Michelsberg.
Tip: Skip the fairground rides and head straight for the Schubkarchstaende behind the main fair; the grower-direct stands are the wine-quality heart of the Wurstmarkt.
Deidesheim (Altstadt)annual, second weekend in August5 days
Deidesheim's village wine fair runs for five August days through the half-timbered Altstadt, with stands from the local first-growth estates including Bassermann-Jordan, Reichsrat von Buhl, von Winning and other Mittelhaardt growers.
Tip: Walk the festival as a slow tasting trail across the village; Deidesheim is small enough to compare three or four top Mittelhaardt growers on foot in a single evening.
