Drinking wine is more than just imbibing – it is a social activity. A good bottle of wine becomes even better when you share it. Therefore, it is only natural to combine the social character of drinking wine with charity events. For a long time, winemakers in Rheinhessen have looked beyond profits and embraced charity projects in their region.
Weinsalon Rheinhessen
In Mainz and Rheinhessen, there is this charming tradition of drinking wine at public events. No matter if the event is big or small, the wine stand is usually the first utility that is established. One of the most successful wine events in Mainz is Weinsalon Rheinhessen. From its humble beginnings with a few wine stands on the banks of the Rhine River in 2008, it has evolved into one of the most popular wine events in Mainz. Up to 20 young winemakers from Rheinhessen take great pride in serving their wines at the event. The setting is down to earth and heart-warming with great views on the riverside. However, the Mainz winemakers have understood that conventional success is not everything. Each year they donate 2.000 € to various charity projects that support children in need.
