Saturday night@Weinfest Wiesbaden

Tonight we venture out of Frankfurt to visit the fabulous Weinfest of Wiesbaden. Please note that this is a double event joint with our dear friends from the local Meetup group of Wiesbaden Socializing who meet there the same evening. We‘ve joined them for several years and each time had a lot of fun .

For those who travel from Frankfurt, we meet at 18:05 Downstairs at platform 104 for the S1 direction Wiesbaden, we enter in the front car. You need a Deutschland- or other RMV ticket to travel. Participants can share a group ticket for up to 5 persons, please flag beforehand if you need one.

We take S1 to Wiesbaden departing 18:12 at platform 104, to arrive 18:54 in Wiesbaden Hbf. If you come from somewhere else, you can also meet us there, we wait a few mins to gather in front of the station. Then we have a short bus ride from across the street to the venue - bus stop „Dernsches Gelände“. Our Meeting point with the Wiesbaden Meetup group is at the bottom of the stairs to Cafe Lumen, possibly a few steps up close to the column. we will reach there around 19:10-15. if you areive later you’ll find us between the historic walled area below Cafe lumen and the outer row of wine stalls. This place will be the base for both Meetup groups. You can meet us directly there if you arrive later, only at 8:30 or 9pm we may take a stroll to see the more remote parts of this larger festival.

We will try wines - mostly from the Rheingau region - from the over 100 stalls that the festival offers and also have take-away dinner at the festival. They also serve beer and non-alcoholic drinks. Please note that many stalls may not accept card payment, so make sure to bring some cash.

There‘s also live music on 3 stages at the festival, which we will explore in case of interest .

An early return connection would be leaving the venue by bus no.1 at 21:22 plus RB10 at 22:32, platform 7 wiesbaden Hbf, to reach Frankfurt at 22:04. Past wine festivals have shown that preferences are different and there could be an early (as above), middle (1 hour later, same bus//train) and late (2 hours later, same bus/train) group to return, people sharing a group ticket need to agree on one train.

This is the perfect Meetup if you’re new in town, keen to meet people from all over the world or Germans (who are among attendees, too). Exchange travel plans, new ideas and hints what’s there to do in the region, and practice your languages (main language is English, but German, Spanish, French, Italian and sometimes Russian, Mandarin and other languages can be practiced). You can also discuss wine recommendations , of course

All ages, nationalities, religions and genders welcome, looking forward to meeting open-minded, tolerant people.
