Wine Festival – Delight, Fellowship, and Entertainment
Wine festivals—also known as grape harvest festivals, grape-pressing festivals, winemakers’ festivals, or “fête des vignerons”—have a long tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. The oldest wine festival still held today took place for the first time in 1417. A wine festival offers wine lovers, connoisseurs, and anyone who would like to sample exquisite vintages the opportunity to discover them in a festive setting. The focus here is on indulgence, so in addition to the select wines, regional specialties will delight your palate. Our first-class wine festival in Lower Saxony, held right on the lake, is rounded out by an entertaining program of activities.
Enjoy culinary delights and fine wines at your lakeside hotel
Every year, winemakers showcase their new vintages and rare wines at our wine festival. This gives you the opportunity to discover new varieties at our hotel through wine tastings and to enjoy yourself over a glass of wine in good company. You’ll love the special atmosphere in our home, and you’re sure to have an unforgettable time. Although wine festivals, as folk festivals, were initially held only in typical wine-growing regions, they became popular in other regions as well by the mid-20th century.
These exquisite wines come from various wine regions, each with its own unique characteristics. At our booths, winemakers showcase the best grape varieties from their respective wine-growing regions. The advantage of a wine festival is that it gives you the opportunity to taste fine wines and rare varieties that you wouldn’t normally be able to try.
