Alzey – Alzeyer Winzerfest 2027

The Alzeyer Winzerfest 2027 takes place in Alzey city centre from Friday, 17 September to Tuesday, 21 September 2027. The organiser has already officially announced the dates for the 88 edition. For five days, you can enjoy Rheinhessen wine culture, live music, rides and a wide range of food. The public festival areas are free to enter; wine tastings, rides and other services are charged separately.

Alzeyer Winegrowers' Festival 2027: Five days of festivities in the old town

The Winzerfest is one of the major recurring festivals in the city of Alzey. It combines a traditional fairground with wine and sparkling wine terraces, as well as musical entertainment in various squares. The festival grounds stretch through the city centre, including Obermarkt, Rossmarkt, Fischmarkt, Ostdeutsche Straße and Hospitalstraße. This means you can visit several areas in one evening and enjoy different atmospheres. There are usually rides and other attractions at Obermarkt and on Ostdeutsche Straße. Rheinhessen wineries also invite you to sample regional specialities.

Wine, funfair and a wide variety of food

The Alzeyer Winzerfest combines its wine festival tradition with the atmosphere of a town funfair. Along the rows of stalls, you’ll find games and sweets, children’s carousels and larger rides. According to the organiser, the varied line-up normally includes around 60 showmen. This gives a general idea of the event, but is not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027. There are also wines and sparkling wines from local winemakers. If you’d like to learn more about individual wines, you can find out about wine tastings that can be booked separately.

Alzeyer Wine Festival 2027: Opening hours and festival areas

The official event calendar traditionally lists the following daily start times for the showmen: Friday from 15, Saturday from 13, Sunday from 10, Monday from 12 and Tuesday from 14. However, the full closing times for the attractions on 2027 are not yet known. The structured opening-hours schedule will therefore remain blank until an official, complete daily overview is available. The start times alone do not reliably indicate how long rides and stalls will actually stay open. Individual stages and catering areas may have their own hours.

Family day, wine tastings and admission

There is generally no admission charge to visit the public festival areas. According to the organisers, you can enjoy most music and entertainment free of charge. However, wine tastings, the wine pass, individual guided tours, food, drinks and rides cost extra. The organisers have announced a business day on Monday and a family day with discounted offers on Tuesday. According to the official announcement, a detailed programme for 2027 will not be published in full until the summer before the festival. The individual exhibitors will also be updated.

Getting there, parking and visitor tips in Alzey

As several streets and squares in the old town are part of the festival site, travelling by public transport is particularly convenient. There are various parking options nearby, some with charges and time limits. You should also expect road closures and restricted access during the event. Check traffic and bus information in advance. The official Winzerfest website provides information about dates, programme items and maps. You can find more fairs and funfairs at Kirmestermine.
