Rüdesheim Weinfest

When we first moved to Germany, Rüdesheim Weinfest was the first outing that we went to. Ready for an oldie but goodie...

2 years and a baby later, we find ourselves once again, heading to Rüdesheim weinfest!

Bernkastel- Kues Wine Festival

Our first wine fest with our little 4 month old! I was exited to get out of the house on this beautiful day and explore the picturesque city of Bernkastel-Kues. The Mosel Valley is full of vineyards that rise up the hills from the river banks. The Burnkastel-Kues Weinfeste (Wine Festival) of the Middle Moselle is always on the first weekend in September. We enjoyed walking around and tasting local foods and wines while listening to the city's band play in the city square. 

Rüdesheim am Rhein Weinfest

Our new friends invited us to a wine fest at a nearby village called Rüdesheim am Rhein. It was about an hour away and we had to jump on a fairy to cross over the Rhine river to get into town. Rüdesheim is the quintessential German fairy-tale town. It is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We walked down Drosselgasse which is a quaint little street in Rudesheim that is worth walking down. This town is really touristy. There are wine shops, beer gardens, bratwurst, ompa music...... the works. It still is a great place to visit, especially during a wine fest.
