Wine Festivals in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse

Kroenung der Pfaelzischen Weinkoenigin ★ 4.2

Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Marktplatz)

The annual coronation of the Pfaelzische Weinkoenigin held within the Deutsches Weinlesefest in Neustadt, a ceremonial October weekend that is one of the longest-running wine-monarch traditions in Germany and a fixed point on the Pfalz calendar.

Tip: Combine the coronation Saturday with the harvest parade through Neustadt; floats from every Mittelhaardt village line up along the Hauptstrasse beforehand.

Deutsches Weinlesefest Neustadt ★ 4.4

Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Marktplatz)

The German harvest festival in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, running across the first ten days of October. A wine market on the Marktplatz pours Pfalz Riesling and Spaetburgunder, and the Deutsche Weinkoenigin is crowned in the final weekend.

Tip: Combine the second Saturday's harvest parade with the wine market; the parade winds through Neustadt with floats from every Mittelhaardt village.
