Wine Festival in the Vineyard
Erlenbach am Main in the Miltenberg district belongs to the Churfranken wine region, a part of the Franconian wine country on the Bavarian Lower Main, known for its red wines. The Wengertstreppenfest is not an ordinary wine festival in the market square, but takes place where the wine grows: in the steep, sun-drenched sandstone terraces of the Hochberg.
Enjoy, Stroll, Toast
Under the motto »Enjoy, stroll, toast – where the wine grows«, guests hike up the »Wengertstreppen« – the stairs between the vineyard paths. At several stands, the Erlenbach vintners serve their white, red, and rosé wines. Idyllic seating areas offer wide views over the Maintal valley, Erlenbach, and Klingenberg.
On the Franconian Red Wine Hiking Trail
The route begins at the Bergschwimmbad (mountain swimming pool), passes the pavilion, and climbs to the upper vineyard path – a section of the Franconian Red Wine Hiking Trail. A staircase connects it to the middle vineyard path. Around seven local vintners design and manage the festival together, supported by the Economic-Cultural-Tourism department of the town of Erlenbach.
Churfranken Wine Culture
The Wengertstreppenfest makes the identity of Churfranken tangible: steep slopes, distinctive red wines, and a warm community of vintners. For wine lovers from the region and beyond, it is one of the most beautiful occasions to discover the wine landscape of the Bavarian Lower Main on foot.
