Program
The Würzburg Wine Village traditionally opens with a festive ceremony on the first evening, when the reigning wine princess joins the innkeepers to tap the first keg. Over the eleven days, the wine stalls open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM; full bottles and Bocksbeutel are served until 10:30 PM, after which only wine by the glass is available. A popular feature is Studi Monday, when students can enjoy a selected Bocksbeutel at a special price, with each innkeeper offering a different wine. One evening also features the traditional gathering of the region's wine princesses.
Tickets
Visiting the Würzburg Wine Village is free; there is no admission fee for the festival grounds. Payment is made directly at the stalls for wine by the glass or bottle, as well as for food. A deposit is usually charged for the glasses and refunded when the glass is returned.
