Franconian Wines on Jakobsplatz
Nuremberg, a city without a district and the center of Middle Franconia, is the heart of Franconia – and Franconia is one of Germany's most traditional wine regions. The Nürnberger Weinfest brings both together: on the central Jakobsplatz, located between St. Elisabeth Church and Jakobskirche, Franconian vintners present their wines in a relaxed summer atmosphere.
Approximately 40 different wines from Franconia are available for tasting. Participants include the Melber winery from Rödelsee, the Goger winery from Sand am Main, and from Hammelburg, the Ruppert winery and the organic winery Lange. Visitors can chat with the vintners and other guests, enjoy a glass of Franconian wine, and sample culinary specialties.
For eleven days, Jakobsplatz becomes a summery meeting point for wine lovers and Nuremberg residents. The central location in the old town, free admission, and the varied stage program make the Nürnberger Weinfest a regular fixture in the city's event calendar and a showcase of Franconian wine culture.
The 2026 edition of the Nürnberger Weinfest runs from Thursday, July 9th, to Sunday, July 19th, 2026, on the central Jakobsplatz. The festive opening will take place on Thursday, July 9th, at 6:30 PM, accompanied by the Franconian Wine Queen Angelina Seiler. Around 40 different wines from Franconia will be available for tasting, including from the wineries Melber (Rödelsee), Goger (Sand am Main), Ruppert, and organic winery Lange (both Hammelburg). Visitors can expect a varied festival program with live music, culinary specialties, and free admission.
