Mainz Marktfrühstück
The Mainz Marktfrühstück, organized by the Mainz Winemakers, draws large crowds of all ages to the city center every Saturday from March through November and is now well known far beyond the state capital’s borders. Come taste the wines every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Enjoy wines from Mainz, straight from the producer—in the heart of the city, at one of Germany’s most beautiful weekly markets: You can experience all of this at the Mainz Marktfrühstück.
Whether it’s Riesling, Silvaner, or Pinot Noir: sample wines from Mainz’s winemakers, who take turns running the wine stand.
But what would breakfast be—especially a Mainz breakfast—without the traditional accompaniments of Weck and Worscht (bread rolls and sausage), which you can pick up just a short walk away at one of the many butcher stands? And since the people of Mainz are such sociable folk, a good, long chat is naturally part of the experience.
When and where?
The Marktfrühstück season starts again on March 7, every Saturday, at Trintonplatz and Fischtorplatz.
Since March 21, Schillerplatz has joined as a new venue.
The three wine stands are each open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Market Breakfast is open every Saturday from March through October.

A word...
The Mainz Marktfrühstück is very popular at all three locations (Tritonplatz, Fischtorplatz, and Schillerplatz). The state capital of Mainz and the Mainz winemakers urge everyone to follow a few basic rules.
To ensure that the original idea—stocking up on regional delicacies at the Mainz weekly market and local restaurants on Saturdays and enjoying them together there—is not lost, we ask that you:
- Keep walkways and emergency exits clear, and follow the instructions of the assigned staff.
- Be considerate of neighboring businesses and keep the entrances to their premises clear.
- Keep the green spaces and the banks of the Rhine clean—please dispose of your trash in the designated bins or simply take it home with you.
- Return wine bottles and glasses to the wine stand for a refund of the deposit.
- Use the official restrooms! Please look for the signs at the wine stands.
