About Kirchenburgweinfest

In August, Hüttenheim celebrates its Kirchenburgweinfest – a Franconian wine festival set against one of the region's most beautiful backdrops: the historic church fortress. For over three decades, visitors have enjoyed Franconian wines and specialties amidst ancient defensive walls, listened to music, and learned about the site's history through guided tours. With free admission, the winegrowers' association, sports club, and rural youth celebrate a atmospheric festival in the Franconian wine paradise.

Wine Festival Behind Defensive Walls

Hüttenheim, a district of the market town Willanzheim in the Kitzingen district (Bavaria), boasts an extraordinary festival venue with its historic church fortress. It is precisely here, protected by the old defensive walls, that the Kirchenburgweinfest has been held for over 30 years. The combination of medieval architecture and Franconian wine culture makes this festival unique.

Franconian Wine Enjoyment and Specialties

In the historic ambiance of the old walls, you can sit back, enjoy music, chat with friends, and savor Franconian specialties and the wines of local vintners. Hüttenheim is located in the Franconian wine paradise; the festival is certified as "Wein.Schöner.Land!" – a regional quality seal for special wine experiences.

Church Fortress Tours and More

Tours of the church fortress are offered every Saturday and Sunday at 3 PM (meeting point: Linde at the market square). Additionally, during the festival days, the historic 'Tante-Emma-Laden' (corner shop) and the bicycle museum open their doors – a piece of living local history complements the wine enjoyment.

Atmosphere

As the lights illuminate the old walls in a warm glow in the evening, the special atmosphere that characterizes the Kirchenburgweinfest emerges: a glass of Franconian wine in hand, brass band music in the air, and history you can touch all around. The festival is driven by the volunteer efforts of the winegrowers' association, sports club, and rural youth – a true village festival with character.
