Ingelheimer Rotweinfest ★ 4.4
Rheinhessen's only red-wine-specific festival, in Ingelheim's Burgkirche district across ten days at the turn of September. J. Neus, Schloss Westerhaus and other Ingelheim Pinot growers pour Spaetburgunder and Fruehburgunder from the Ingelheimer Pares Grosse Lage.
Tip: Combine the festival with a morning at J. Neus or Schloss Westerhaus for the Ingelheimer Pares Spaetburgunder; the village's Pinot heritage dates to the Carolingian court of Charlemagne.
