Köhler wine and summer vibes in the Steigerwald
Dingolshausen is a small municipality in the Schweinfurt district, nestled in the Steigerwald wine panorama in Franconian wine country. Once a year, the village celebrates its wine festival – the Dingolshäuser Weinmomente, still familiar to many as the Köhler-Weinfest. The festively decorated village becomes a meeting point for wine lovers from the region.
The festival revolves around the wines of the local Weingut Loos – from crisp and fresh to full-bodied and characterful. The name 'Köhler' refers to the charcoal burner tradition of the Steigerwald, which is still culturally anchored in the village today. Accompanying the wine are Franconian specialties such as Bratwurst, Fischsemmeln (fish rolls), Currywurst, and Köhler specialties.
The Steigerwald is one of Franconia's most traditional wine-growing regions. The Dingolshäuser Weinmomente combine local viticulture, charcoal burner tradition, and village conviviality into an authentic festival far from mass tourism – a hidden gem for lovers of Franconian wine culture in the Schweinfurt district.
The 2026 edition of the Dingolshäuser Weinmomente runs from Friday, August 7th, to Monday, August 10th, 2026, at Frei:Raum in Dingolshausen. It is already the fourth iteration of the popular wine festival. For four days, there will be wine, music, and summer vibes: G-String will play on Friday, the Oberspiesheimer on Saturday, the Köhlerkapelle on Sunday, and the Stammheimer on Monday. The focus is on the wines of the local Weingut Loos – from crisp and fresh to full-bodied. In addition, there will be Bratwurst, Fischsemmeln, Currywurst, and Köhler specialties.
