 
In the beginning years the wine market festival in Oberwesel was held every 14 days and
was a pure sales promotion of the numerous vine dressers of the town of the towers and of
the wine.
But throughout time the Oberweseler wine market developed itself more and more to a
tourist attraction and today it counts to one of the hightlights of the vintage festival
on the Rhine river. The Oberweseler vintage dressers and wine grape growers await a
numerous amount of guests in their wine stands and booths on the market place.
The
program 2010 will appear
about 6 weeks before the
wine festival.
