Important dates in the city's event calendar are the presentations "Best of Mainzer Wein" in April (white wines) and November (red wines). On the last weekend in April, the beginning of the open-air season, the wineries of Mainz offer a wine hike along the Rheinterrassenweg. Very popular and typical for Mainz is the "Marktfrühstück" (market breakfast) at the weekly market: from early summer to early autumn, it is an indispensable Saturday ritual of the Mainz wine lovers.

From late autumn to spring, this wine bar will be held indoors - every Sunday in the Malakoff Passage.
Once the days get longer and everybody is heading outside, the Sunday is still set for wines from Mainz: From mid-May to mid-October, there are plenty of opportunities for wine tastings with the winemakers of Mainz at Fort Malakoff / Templertor by the Rhine river, providing opportunities to learn more about the wines of the Great Wine Capital Mainz.
