West Wine Festival in Trier: Young festival for enjoyment and good music!

The West Wine Festival in Trier is celebrating its third edition this year and has long since become an integral part of the regional cultural scene. Launched four years ago, the first event took place in summer 2022 on the grounds of the European Art Academy. This year the festival will be celebrated from Friday, August 15th to Sunday, August 17th and will once again attract numerous wine lovers and gourmets.

The West Wine Festival is organized by Ali Haidar, the top chef and owner of the Herrlich Ehrlich restaurant, and Ulrich Klausenitzer, who is responsible for the creative design and public relations. Together they would like to introduce the regional wines and the winemakers behind their restaurant's wine list in more detail. This sets the festival apart from other wine festivals thanks to its urban neighborhood style and specifically appeals to a young, hip audience.

Pleasure for the senses

With a wide range of street food, cocktails and musical accompaniment from DJs, the festival will certainly be an experience for everyone involved. Around 2,000 guests are expected over the three days of the festival. The gastronomy will be represented by Herrlich Ehrlich, which will provide a delicious range of soul and street food. In addition, a security company ensures the safety of visitors.

Visitors can look forward to a selection of six wineries presenting their products. These include the Fürst, Beckers, Loersch, Carlsfelsen wineries as well as Nico and Sarah Sonntag and the Weber brothers. The range of drinks includes not only regional wines, but also beer, soft drinks and refreshing cocktails. New this year are the self-service glass washing stations, which ensure less hassle and a more pleasant atmosphere.

Entrance fees and future prospects

To take part in this special event, adults pay an entrance fee of 6 euros. For 12 euros you can also get a designed wine glass filled with sparkling wine or wine. The West Wine Festival is carried out without any financial support from sponsors or public funds, which underlines the independence and personal responsibility of the organizers.

Speaking of independence, an interesting question that arises on this occasion is the possible need for a wine queen. However, the organizers have not yet seriously considered this.
