The Bocholt Wine Festival, which takes place this year from 25 to 27 July , is a firm fixture in the diaries of many Bocholters and their guests. For the 29th time, seven winegrowers from the Palatinate will come to Bocholt and transform St.-Georg-Platz into a small wine village over these three days. Palatinate wines and other specialities can be enjoyed and tasted in a wine-loving atmosphere with a colourful music programme. The traditional Palatinate tarte flambée is also on offer.
