Wine Festival Frickenhausen

About Wine Festival Frickenhausen

The Frickenhausen Wine Festival is one of the most traditional wine festivals on the Franconian Main river. For four days, from Friday to Monday in mid-August, locals and guests celebrate on the festival grounds by the Main river, against the unique backdrop of Frickenhausen's completely preserved medieval town fortifications. The festival is traditionally opened by Markgraf Babenberg, the symbolic figure of the wine community. With Franconian wine, Frühschoppen (morning pint), and the concluding Kesselfleischessen (pork stew), the festival embodies the wine culture of the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg.
