Mainz Celebrity-Weinberg: Stars Plant vines for wine capital!

in the heart of Mainz, a city rich in history and wine culture, prominent personalities have come together to actively contribute to the promotion of the region as a wine capital of Germany. The Mainz celebrity-Weinberg, an initiative of the Mainz wine senate, invites celebrities to plant its own vines, creating a unique connection between the stars and wine production.

The idea of the vineyard first came into play in 2007 when the first sponsors, including Karl Cardinal Lehmann and the then ZDF director Markus Schächter, set the first vines. This prominent participation should not only promote the mediality of the city, but also support the right to the title "Wine capital". A nice side effect: Every celebrity who plants a vine is appointed "Consitor Senatus Vineti", which means much as a planter of the Senate wine mountain. In addition, each godfather receives a bottle of wine annually that is generated from its own grapes.

prominent sponsors and their importance

A large number of well -known personalities are now part of this project. These include Malu Dreyer, the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the comedian Otto Waalkes. This collaboration not only brings prominence into play, but also draws media attention to Mainz. The vineyard is not only perceived as a tourist attraction, but also as a cultural heritage that attracts many visitors to the city.

The "Walk of Wine", which was introduced in 2021, is particularly remarkable. Similar to the famous Walk of Fame in Hollywood, the vines here are provided with name bands that provide information about the respective sponsors. This gives the vineyard an additional dimension and ensures that the story behind the vines is also visible to visitors.

According to the organizers, the goal of the celebrity-Weinberg is to present the Weinviertel of the city in an exciting and innovative way. Even many athletes and public life personalities are involved in this framework and plants not only a vine, but also a piece of their public image and their passion for wine.

The location of the vineyard

The celebrity-Weinberg is located in an idyllic location on the edge of the old town of Mainz, directly below the historic citadel and near the excavation site of the Roman theater. This breathtaking location offers visitors a unique view of the old town and the majestic cathedral of Mainz. The vineyard is easy to reach on foot, which makes it an ideal goal for tourists and locals who want to explore the city and cultural landscape of the city.

This will not only lead to a symbol of wine culture, but also one of the many attraction points that attract visitors from the region and beyond the city.
