Wine enjoyment in the medieval old town
Prichsenstadt, in the Kitzingen district, is one of the most beautiful small towns in Franconian Wine Land. The almost completely preserved medieval town fortifications and the historic townscape form a unique backdrop. During the "Wein im Frei'n" wine festival, the old town becomes an atmospheric festival mile, focusing on Franconian hospitality, culinary specialties, and fine Prichsenstadt wines.
The venue is the central Karlsplatz and the surrounding historic alleys. Under the open sky – hence the name "Wein im Frei'n" (Wine in the Open) – local producers and restaurateurs serve Prichsenstadt wines and spoil guests with regional specialties. The evening atmosphere between old walls and half-timbered houses is what makes the festival so special.
The Franconian Wine Land around Kitzingen and the Steigerwald region is one of Germany's most traditional wine-growing areas. "Wein im Frei'n" focuses on Prichsenstadt wine and combines it with the unique historical backdrop of the town – an authentic, down-to-earth wine festival far from mass tourism and a hidden gem for lovers of Franconian wine culture.
