The Mittelrhein Wine Association e. V. will offer a wine tasting in German Sign Language (DGS) on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for the third time. The event is specifically aimed at deaf and hard of hearing people and will take place starting at 4:00 p.m. at the Matthias Müller winery in Spay.

Following the successful events in 2023 and 2024, the association continues its commitment to greater accessibility and participation in wine tourism. Participants can look forward to a diverse tasting of five selected wines from the entire Mittelrhein growing region. The selection provides a representative insight into the variety and quality of the regional wines. The reigning Mittelrhein wine royalty Janina, Jill, and Anna will also make a special contribution: Each of them will present a wine and provide personal insights into its unique characteristics. For the trio, the wine tasting will also be one of the last official appointments of their tenure, which ends two weeks later with the election of the new Mittelrhein wine royalty on November 6, 2026, in Rhöndorf.

The entire wine tasting will be accompanied by experienced and certified interpreters for German Sign Language. The interpreting team includes, among others, a former Mittelrhein wine princess and a winemaker's wife, both closely connected to the wine region. The participation fee of 45 euros includes the tasting of five wines, mineral water, and a snack platter – available in a vegetarian option upon request. As the number of participants is limited, early registration is recommended.
