Oppenheimer Weinmarkt ★ 4.4
Oppenheim's late-September Weinmarkt opens on the Marktplatz beneath the gothic Katharinenkirche, with stands from Domaene Oppenheim, Kuehling-Gillot, Manz and other Rheinterrasse growers pouring Sackttraeger and Kreuz Rieslings into the harvest weeks.
Tip: Walk up to the Katharinenkirche before the festival opens for the cleanest view over Oppenheim's Sackttraeger and Kreuz slopes; the gothic church anchors the town's wine identity.
