Drink Festivals – Beer and wine festivals in Europe.
Here you’ll find details of the most popular festivals and some lesser-known.
The Munich Oktoberfest is the granddaddy of all beer festivals, but we also have a soft spot for the Berlin Beer Week Festival, held in September.
As beer and wine festivals are often combined with food and gourmet, make sure you also check out our Food and Gourmet Festivals page.
See the sidebar listing of Upcoming Food, Wine and Beer Festivals in Europe for a quick reference of what’s on, where and when.
