Four days of pouring on Bingen's Kulturufer at the Rhine-Nahe confluence, with stands from Riffel and other Bingen Scharlachberg producers alongside Rheinhessen and Mittelrhein neighbours. The Burg Klopp ruin frames the festival from above.
Tip: Combine the festival with a visit to the Hildegard-Forum on the Rochusberg above the town; Bingen's wine identity dates to Hildegard von Bingen's 12th-century convent.
Bingen Altstadt Weinhaus pouring Rheinhessen Riesling and Spaetburgunder by the glass with a focus on Binger Scharlachberg estates and Wonnegau growers alongside Rhine-bend home cooking.
The list: A Bingen Altstadt Weinhaus pouring Rheinhessen Riesling, Silvaner and Spaetburgunder by the glass alongside Rhine-bend home cooking, with a particular focus on Binger Scharlachberg estates and Wonnegau growers
Tip: Order the Binger Scharlachberg Riesling next to the dry Silvaner; the iron-rich quartzite slope sits just outside Bingen and reads cleanly with the cellar's home cooking.
