On 12 and 13 May 2018, the 21st German Sparkling Wine Day will take place at producers' premises throughout Germany. Since 1998, many German sparkling wine cellars have traditionally opened their doors on Mother's Day weekend. The Sekttag offers visitors the opportunity to learn the secrets of sparkling wine production. Cellar tours, sparkling wine tastings, musical and culinary offerings await visitors from 14 sparkling wine cellars, mainly in the Rhine-Main region.

One focus is the Rheingau: The sparkling wine cellars Reuter & Sturm invite visitors to Walluf for a sparkling experience. Sektkellerei Henkell in Wiesbaden will use the sparkling wine day on 12 May for the first open-air festival of the year with live music and guided tours of the winery and sparkling wine factory. The Matheus-Müller (MM) winery in Eltville, part of Rotkäppchen-Mumm, will open the doors of its historic vaults and the garden of Georg Hermann Mumm's villa on 12 and 13 May. On 12 and 13 May, Vaux Castle will celebrate 150 years of sparkling wine culture at the Eltville manufactory and surprise its visitors with new creations. In Rüdesheim, it is the Ohlig sparkling wine cellars which will open their cellars and offer a colourful programme all about sparkling wine. The Goldhand sparkling wine cellars lure visitors to taste their range of products in the heart of the historical city of Mainz.

Even outside the Rhine-Main area, the corks pop on sparkling wine day. The German Champagne Day is also celebrated by Wackerbarth Castle in Radebeul, Rotkäppchen-Mumm in Freyburg/Unstrut, Rilling Sekt in Stuttgart, Deutz & Geldermann and Munzingen Castle in Breisach, Heim'sche Sektkellerei in Neustadt/Weinstraße and Wachenheim Castle.
