The Mittelmosel wine festival in Bernkastel-Kues is scheduled for early September 2026. Preparations for the event include a comprehensive traffic and parking management plan designed to prevent congestion in the historic center. This plan involves redirecting vehicles to the Kues district, utilizing the Altstadtparkhaus, and opening additional parking spaces at Kueser Werth, the local school centre, and along the Moselle riverbank. Specific fees have been established for motorhomes, motorcyclists, and buses.

In addition to logistical planning, the festival is highlighted as a key cultural attraction for the Mosel region. The event will feature approximately two dozen wine stalls along the traditional ‘Weinstraße’ near the old town. Notably, this year marks the first time local wineries Gerber Erben and Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch-Erben will host their own individual stands to offer Riesling selections.
