48th Stuttgart Wine Festival
Stuttgart's vineyards stretch right into the heart of the city, making Stuttgart the only German metropolis with its own municipal wine estate. Wine has been grown here ever since Roman times, and owes its excellent quality to the first-class soil, the favourable climate and the expertise that has accumulated over the centuries. Today, wines from the Stuttgart Region rank among the best in the world and are celebrated with their own Stuttgart Wine Festival.
"GeWeinsam" – "together with wine" – is the motto of this year's Stuttgart Wine Festival, to be held from 28th August to 8th September in the city centre.
The cosy wine booths extend from the Marketplace through Kirchstrasse to Schiller Square, with around 30 hosts serving exquisite wines, accompanied by Swabian specialities: Käsespätzle (cheesy noodles), Maultaschen (filled pasta), Schupfnudeln (potato noodles) with sauerkraut, and sweet treats to finish up with. Up-and-coming young wine growers – some in the third generation – will also once again be here for the 48th year of the festival.
