Rheingauer Wine Festival Eltville 2026: The festival Saturday brings live power and brass energy to the Rheingau
From May 22 to 25, 2026, the Rheingauer Wine Festival Eltville transforms the region into a meeting point for wine lovers, music fans, and connoisseurs. Four days, about 40 artists, selected winemakers, and several atmospheric floors create a unique festival experience among the vines, panoramic views, and summery festival vibes at the Hirt-Gebhardt Winery in Eltville.
After Friday's opening event "Local Heroes," which is completely dedicated to regional artists, the next highlight of the Whitsun weekend follows on Saturday, May 23, 2026: an energetic festival day with live bands, brass sounds, and danceable beats.
A big thank you also goes to all the involved offices, authorities, neighbors, the district administrator, and Mayor Kunkel.
Saturday, May 23, 2026 – Live Sounds & Brass Vibes
Start: 2:00 PM
Festival Saturday is all about live music, captivating brass power, and an exuberant festival atmosphere. Starting at 2:00 PM, the grounds of the Hirt-Gebhardt Winery will transform into a large open-air stage where various artists will create a lively atmosphere.
A central highlight of the day is the Urban Club Band, which has been one of the most sought-after live acts for party and event stages for years. With a mix of current charts, club hits, funk, soul, and pop, the band creates an energetic atmosphere and guarantees full dance floors.
Adding a special musical touch are the BRASSers, known from the international festival Woodstock of Brass Music. With their modern interpretation of brass sounds, they combine traditional brass instruments with modern grooves and festival energy – a sound that regularly delights live audiences.
The program is complemented by K!D, who creates the perfect transition between live performance and club atmosphere with modern beats and danceable sounds.
Shannon Cuomo also brings fresh energy to the stage. With a mix of modern sounds, live performance, and charismatic stage presence, she ensures musical highlights in the afternoon and early evening.
Another special element of the day is the format "BRASS ohne Limit!", which provides genuine festival vibes with powerful brass sounds, surprising musical moments, and spontaneous live sessions.
Thus, Saturday combines live band feeling, brass power, and modern club music into a diverse festival day that accompanies visitors into the evening hours.
In addition to the music, guests can enjoy selected wines from regional winemakers at fair prices, as well as culinary specialties – from hearty Rheingau classics to sweet delicacies. Several floors such as the sun terrace, pressing hall, panorama lounge, and main floor offer different musical atmospheres and invite guests to linger, dance, and enjoy.
Outlook on the upcoming festival days
While Saturday is all about live music and brass energy, Sunday has another highlight in store: the popular White Party, where DJs, live instruments, and a stylish dress code create a special festival atmosphere.
The grand finale is finally on Whit Monday when an energetic electronic closing winds down the extended weekend with pulsating beats. With its versatile program, the Rheingauer Wine Festival Eltville 2026 will once again become a meeting point for music, wine, and unforgettable moments in the heart of the Rheingau.
