Royal Wine Hike on the Middle Rhine - A World Heritage Region
The highlight of the Wine Hiking Weekend is the annual "Royal Wine Hike." It takes place each year in a different region, following the alphabetical order of the wine-growing areas.
This year, on April 26, 2026, the German Wine Queen, Anna Zenz, will lead a tour through the picturesque landscape of the northern Middle Rhine. Participants can enjoy the region's wines and learn more about viticulture and the winemakers of the Middle Rhine. (video)
