Wine festival

25.07. - 27.07.2025 | St.-Georg-Platz

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.

Programme:

Friday, 25 July from 5 pm

5 pm - Official opening by Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff, Wine Queen Barbara I and Ludger Dieckhues from Stadtmarketing Bocholt. The Sporker Musikanten will provide the atmosphere that evening.

Saturday, 26 July from 12 noon

The Start-Up Party Band will provide the party atmosphere from 5.00 pm.

Sunday, 27 July from 12 noon

The duo 'Boogie & more' will provide background music from 2.30 pm.

Election of the Bocholt Wine King

A highlight of the Bocholt Wine Festival is the coronation of the Wine King.

Participation forms will be available at all wine stands during the wine festival until late in the evening on Saturday, 26 July. You can also complete the questionnaire online via a QR code on display during the wine festival weekend.

The prize is definitely something for wine lovers: a weekend in the Palatinate, a crate of wine donated by the Palatinate winegrowers, a gift from Juwelier Hermeier and two tickets for the Farmers Rock Festival in Lankern on 9 August.

The new Bocholt Wine Queen 2025 will be crowned and presented by City Marketing Director Ludger Dieckhues and the reigning Wine Queen Barbara I on St.-Georg-Platz on Sunday, 27 July at 6.00 pm.
