Red wine town of Ingelheim

Imperial charm meets art and culture: this summer, the Aula Regia in the Imperial Palace at Ingelheim will once again become a magical destination for culture lovers. The summer cultural series “Künste & Klänge” will take place from 14 to 16 August in the former throne room of Charlemagne. During the three-day open-air series, the audience can look forward to performances by Pe Werner, “Frommermann” (The Dutch Harmonists) and Stefan Jürgens.

On 4 and 5 July 2026, the motto in Ingelheim will be: discover, taste and enjoy! The Maxime Open, Rheinhessen’s largest wine tasting event, is coming to the ‘Red Wine Town’. Over 50 wineries from across Rheinhessen will be presenting their wines at the seven host wineries in Ingelheim.

What makes it special: instead of a traditional wine fair, visitors can look forward to a relaxed ‘winery hop’. Whether on a wine walk or by shuttle bus, you can travel comfortably from station to station – entirely at your own pace and with plenty of opportunities for personal conversations with the winemakers.

The days are getting longer again, temperatures are rising, and the outdoor season is just around the corner. With the Spring Festival at the Winzerkeller, Ingelheimer Kultur und Marketing GmbH (IkUM) is once again kicking off the open-air season this year. On the second weekend in May (8 May to 10 May), the garden in front of the Winzerkeller will be transformed into a spring-like oasis with a live stage and lounge furniture for relaxing.
