After St. John's Night is before the Kirchenstück - Mainz celebrates wine, enjoyment, winegrowers and the good life all summer long.
On the first weekend in July, the "Weinfest im Kirchenstück" will once again take place in Mainz-Hechtsheim. The festival has carried the "Rheinhessen Excellent" seal of quality awarded by "Rheinhessenwein" since 2015 and is considered one of the most beautiful wine festivals in the region. In the middle of the Hechtsheim vineyards with a sweeping view of Rheinhessen and the Taunus, visitors can once again enjoy wines from the Hechtsheim winegrowers. The twelve wineries offer wines and sparkling wines as well as regional dishes over a distance of around 500 meters.
Vines have been growing in the vineyards above Hechtsheim for at least 800 years, and a wine market in Hechtsheim was first mentioned in a document in 1190. The Hechtsheim "Kirchenstück" is therefore a legend, its wine festival a cult - no wonder that Rheinhessenwein has recognized it as a particularly beautiful wine festival. Incidentally, the location takes its name from the neighboring St. Pankratius church, where the church vineyards used to grow the mass wine and the priest's evening drink.
