Wackerbarth Castle at night in the snow-covered vineyard, festively illuminated with fairy lights up to the Belvedere.

Wine & Glittering Lights from November 7, 2025

As the days get shorter and the scent of mulled wine slowly fills the Radebeul vineyards, one of the most enjoyable times of the year begins at Schloss Wackerbarth.
Under the motto "Wine & Light", around 5,000 points of light and numerous Herrnhut stars once again transform our ensemble into a magical world of radiant splendour, music and enjoyment from November to February. Light sculptures and selected illuminations as well as fairytale lanterns invite you to take a tour of the romantically illuminated grounds. Atmospheric music rounds off the enjoyment for all the senses.
Enjoy our lights in the vineyards and in the baroque grounds between the castle and Belvedere until February. The lanterns by Radebeul artist Bärbel Voigt depict the fantastic world of Pinocchio.
