Bad Durkheim Wurstmarkt (and Wine Fest)

The Bad Durkheim Wurstmarkt and Wine Fest is the largest wine festival in the world and it's held every year in the town of Bad Durkheim in Germany. 

We went for a day trip out there on September 8th. It was like Oktoberfest for wine! The glasses of wine they had were huge. And by huge I mean 1/2 a liter, per glass!!

It's a lot like a fair. Rides, games, fun houses (sort of) and of course music and drinking. We went during the day so it was fun for our family but I'm sure at night it really comes to life!

Brats of course!

 Lots of fun kid rides.

 The largest wine barrel in the world. It holds 1.7 million liters of wine!

 Lebkuchenherzen - German gingerbread cookies with phrases on them. These say "Ich liebe Dich" which means I love you!


 My husband took this picture of me, he's pretty proud of it!

 Food and wine!



 These glasses of wine are huge!


 Ariana loves carousels!

 Practicing her shots like Meridia from Brave!

 Fun music.






Rheinland Pfalz is wine country!
