Genheim wine festival

On the third weekend of August 2026, the now-traditional wine festival will take place in the idyllic wine village of Genheim, a district of the municipality of Waldalgesheim. For 35 years now, this festival has been celebrated in our small but charming wine village of Genheim and has become a well-kept secret among wine lovers in the region. Local residents and all guests from near and far are cordially invited to enjoy a few wine-filled and convivial hours in Genheim. Together with four wineries, the men’s choir, and the rural women’s association, we have put together a small but delightful entertainment program to ensure our guests feel right at home.
