The Gouda Wine Festival

After the overwhelming success of the first two editions of the Gouda Wine Festival in 2024 and 2025, a follow-up is, of course, inevitable. After just two years, the Gouda Wine Festival has already become a new tradition in Gouda’s nightlife!

The second Gouda Wine Festival will take place on Thursday, October 29 (business night), Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, 2026. Join friends to enjoy a fine glass of wine and delicious dishes from wine merchants and restaurants in Gouda and the surrounding region. In a unique setting that captures the imagination, the beautifully restored Gouwekerk will once again serve as the backdrop for this vibrant event! Choose your favorite wine from over 200 selections, order it by the glass or by the bottle, and enjoy a variety of dishes from the different restaurants.

Participants The Gouda Wine Festival is organized by De Wijnmannen, De Gouwekerk, and 2Rent4You. Especially for this festival, they have invited leading wine merchants and restaurants to collaborate on creating an unforgettable wine festival where quality and atmosphere take center stage. During the festival, all wine merchants and restaurants will present their own wine lists or food-wine pairings featuring exceptional wines that can be ordered by the glass or by the bottle. Each restaurant will serve a selection of its best dishes, ranging from finger food to fine dining. With such a diverse selection of food, every visitor can enjoy the most delicious dishes and appetizers at any time!

Participants in the 2026 Gouda Wine Festival include Wijngroothandel van Welie, Restaurant LIZZ*, Pandora’s Bottle, Restaurant l’Angolo Divino, Het Reeuwijks Wijnhuis, Foodbar De Zalm, Grandi Vini, and De Wijnmannen.
