"Der Wolf tanzt" — Wolfenweiler Wine and Sparkling Wine Festival

Wolfenweiler in the Southern Markgräflerland

Wolfenweiler is a district of the municipality of Schallstadt in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district (AGS 08315), ten kilometers south of Freiburg. The region is part of the Markgräflerland, one of Germany's warmest wine regions — Burgundy grape varieties (Gutedel, Spätburgunder, Weißburgunder) find ideal conditions here at the transition from the Black Forest to the Rhine plain. The Wolfenweiler Winzergenossenschaft (Kirchstraße 2) bundles the wines of its member businesses and has been organizing a three-day summer festival for years, bearing the name "Der Wolf tanzt" — an allusion to the place name.

Markgräfler Wine Tradition

Also Spätburgunder, Weißburgunder, Müller-Thurgau. The Wolfenweiler Winzergenossenschaft unites several winegrowing families who manage their vineyards around Schallstadt, Norsingen, and Mengen — hillside viticulture at the transition to the Black Forest foothills.
