SaarRieslingSummer - A weekend of pleasure

Top-Class Tasting Weekend

At the end of August, Saar wineries and guest winemakers invite you to a big wine journey once again.
The SaarRieslingSummer offers the opportunity to sample wines and Crémants from more than 30 producers from various German and international wine regions at eleven stations along the Saar in modern wine shops, historic wine estates, as well as in parks and gardens on August 29/30, 2026.

Between 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., renowned wineries along the picturesque Saar from Serrig to Konz-Filzen open their doors and invite wine lovers to taste their wines along with guest winemakers from Germany and abroad.

Wine enthusiasts enjoy special wines in a relaxed atmosphere and at beautiful locations.
They experience the unique charm of this wine region: landscape and people, tradition and innovation, architecture, variety, and dedication to the best.
At each station, guest winemakers from Germany and abroad also invite wine lovers to sample their wines.
Additionally, themed wine tastings will be available at various stations: from sparkling wine to Pinot Noir.

A special convenience is the bus shuttle between the wineries, which is included in the ticket price.
