Pentecost Wine Tasting Löwenstein 2026

Pentecost Wine Tasting Löwenstein — Wine above the Heilbronn region

On Pentecost weekend 2026 — May 24 and 25 — the Musikverein Löwenstein invites you to the traditional Pentecost Wine Tasting in the historic old town. The venues are the medieval Unteres Tor and the neighboring Freihaus — two landmarks of the small town on the edge of the Löwensteiner Berge.

Program — Wine, Market, and Music

The Pentecost Wine Tasting is one of the most beautiful wine festivals in northern Württemberg and combines several program elements:

• Wine stand service by local vintners — the winemakers from Löwenstein and the surrounding villages of the Löwensteiner Berge will be serving their top wines
• Nature Park Market — producers from the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park will present food, crafts, and regional products
• Castle tours — special tours of the Löwenstein castle ruins will be offered over Pentecost, with views over the Heilbronn region
• Music under the open sky — the Musikverein Löwenstein and guest bands will play brass music and cheerful summer melodies

Löwensteiner Berge — the northern Württemberg wine country

The Löwensteiner Berge are a low mountain range in northern Württemberg, between Heilbronn and Schwäbisch Hall. They belong to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park and the Württemberg wine-growing region. Trollinger, Lemberger, Riesling, and Schwarzriesling grow on the steep south-facing slopes — typical Württemberg grape varieties that make the Pentecost Wine Tasting a showcase of regional wine culture.

Löwenstein — small town on the hill

With only around 3,200 inhabitants, Löwenstein is one of the smallest towns in the district of Heilbronn — and one of the oldest and most atmospheric. Located on a hill above the Sulm valley, the town offers a wide view over the Heilbronn region to the Hohenlohe region. The Löwenstein castle ruins from the 12th century tower over the old town; the Unteres Tor and the Freihaus are preserved remnants of the medieval town fortifications. This compact historical setting makes the Pentecost Wine Tasting particularly charming.

Organizers and Tradition

The main organizer is the Musikverein Löwenstein in cooperation with the town of Löwenstein and the local vintners. The Pentecost Wine Tasting is one of the most important club events of the year — both financially for the music club and in terms of identity for the small town community.
