Ramstein Wine Festival
Friday and Saturday you can sample excellent wines and enjoy an entertaining evening at the Ramstein Wine Festival. Wines from different countries as well as culinary delights will be offered in the outdoor area of the Congress Center Ramstein. There will be live musical entertainment on both days. The event starts Friday at 6 p.m. The duo "UN-ER-HÖRT" will perform on stage. The two musicians Marco Leonhardt and Mario Gilcher feel at home in every genre of music. Having fun on stage is the most important thing for both and that's exactly what they want to pass on to the audience. Saturday the wine booths will open at 3 p.m. The "Almhütten Musikanten" start the music program with hearty brass music and thus open the stage for the duo "Party Affair". Manuel Distler and Stefan Altherr play everything from rock and pop to the current chart hits. Free admission on both days!
