Rheingau Wine Festival

These range from the finest wines to light and zesty summer wines, with wines from alternative grape varieties also being offered alongside the dominant Rheingau Riesling. To complement the wines and sparking wines, the Freßgass´ businesses traditionally offer refreshments at food stalls.

Opening hours
Daily from 11:00 – 23:00 hours

History / Concept
The first Rheingau Wine Festival took place in the Freßgass´ in 1978. Establishing the festival in Frankfurt´s upmarket shopping area was a deliberate move, as the colloquial name "Freßgass´" alone illustrates the street´s tradition of being a place of Lucullan delights.
