CLAWAR Wine Festival Tour – Wurstmarkt Bad Dürkheim on 06.09.2024


The Palatinate (Pfalz) region is one of the most important wine-producing areas in Germany. Along the German Wine Route on the East of the Pfälzerwald (Palatinate Forest) many small towns and villages dedicate themselves to making wine. During the Summer nearly every village in this beautiful region full of vineyards will have an own festival where the vinters serve their newest wines along some traditional regional food, celebrating the wine harvests and bringing everybody together.

The biggest and most famous of these wine festivals is the “Wurstmarkt” in Bad Dürkheim, happening at the end of the festival season in September. Dating back for more than 600 years the festival blends tradition and modern festivity. Attendees can enjoy a great varity of local wines, hearty regional Palatine cuisine, and live music while strolling around the festival, celebrating in the large party tent or having a drink in one of the traditional Schubkarchstände (traditional food and wine booths).
