Franconian Wine Festival at Crailsheim Castle in the heart of Steigerwald
The Rödelseer Weinfest is celebrated on the first weekend of July on one of Mainfranken's most charming festival grounds: around Crailsheim Castle in the wine-growing community of Rödelsee at the foot of the Schwanberg in Steigerwald (Kitzingen district).
Eight Rödelsee wineries present their wines — including Weingut Weltner, Weingut Hemberger, Weingut Meyer, Weinmanufaktur 3 Zeilen, Weinwerkstatt Heß, Winzergemeinschaft Franken eG, Weingut Melber, and Weingut Vollhals. The festival is opened by the reigning Wine Princess.
A special attraction is the »Original Rödelseer Weinleiter«: it allows you to taste seven selected Bocksbeutel wines — a delightful cross-section of Rödelsee's wine diversity.
Rödelsee, known for its steep slopes on the Schwanberg, is located in the Kitzingen district, Bavaria, in the Franconian wine region. The wine festival is one of the highlights of Rödelsee's event calendar and is organized by Weinfest Rödelsee G.b.R.
The 55th Rödelseer Weinfest will be celebrated from July 3 to 6, 2026, at Crailsheim Castle. The opening on Friday at 8:00 PM will be by Wine Princess Mia I.
Musically, Die Hopferstädter (brass music and party rock), the Winzerkapelle Rödelsee, the Monkeyman Band, the brass ensemble 5er Blech, Streetgig, and finally the Stoapfälzer Spitzbuam will provide the atmosphere; on Friday and Saturday, DJ Jones will also spin in the cellar bar (Happy Hour until 10 PM).
