WineMainz 2026: German Wine Weekend Mainz, April 25–27, 2026

From April 25–27, 2026, Mainz becomes the international meeting point for top-quality German wine. Four leading trade events—anchored by the 52nd VDP.Weinbörse—join forces to position Mainz as the central trade fair hub for Germany’s finest producers.

Alongside the VDP.Weinbörse, the program includes VINVIN – Trade Fair for Wines of Origin, the Biodynamic Wine Fair, and the Sparkling Wine Fair of the Association of Traditional Sparkling Wine Producers. Together, they showcase Germany’s strengths in provenance-driven wines, biodynamics, and traditionally bottle-fermented sparkling wine.

A single weekend offers a concentrated insight into Germany’s wine-growing regions—from north to south—defined by expertise, individuality, and diversity. Winery visits can be arranged in coordination with the participating associations.
