Höflesfest – Beats & Wine Hammelburg

Beats Meet Wine in Franconia's Oldest Wine Town

Hammelburg in the Lower Franconian Rhön region is considered the oldest wine town in Franconia. Here, Weingut Lange Schloss Saaleck hosts the Höflesfest – Beats & Wine: an open-air party where electronic music meets Franconian wine culture. The celebration takes place directly on the market square — under the open sky, in the wine bar in the town hall, and in the historic Rathausdurchfahrt.

House, Techno, and Electro

Regional DJs bring fresh sounds to the historic town hall with driving beats from House, Techno, and Electro. The concept combines the relaxed atmosphere of a wine festival with the energy of an open-air party — designed for everyone who loves good sound and balmy summer evenings.

Organic Wines, Cocktails, and Street Food

Served are organic wines from Weingut Schloss Saaleck, along with creative cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Street food stalls cater to culinary delights. The Höflesfest is part of Hammelburg's tradition of "Höfle" festivals, where private courtyards and squares are opened for wine, food, and music.

Hammelburg and Schloss Saaleck

Schloss Saaleck, home of the winery of the same name, towers above the town. Hammelburg is located in the Fränkisches Saaletal on the border of the Rhön — vineyards, half-timbered houses, and the Altstadt monastery characterize the town. A visit to the Höflesfest can be well combined with a wine hike or a trip to the Rhön.
