Roßwager Weinfest 2026

Four Days of Wine Festival in Roßwag

The Roßwager Weinfest will take place from Thursday, May 14th, to Sunday, May 17th, 2026, in front of the Lembergerland Winery's wine shop. The Lembergerland cooperative has been organizing the festival for years as a central showcase for its wines — four days of enjoyment, music, and encounters in the heart of Roßwag's steep vineyard area.

Lemberger in the Spotlight

Lemberger — also known as Blaufränkisch — is the region's characteristic grape variety and the winery's namesake. At the festival grounds, the vintners will present their current vintages: robust Lemberger and Trollinger, mineralic Rieslings and Müller-Thurgau, as well as Pinot Noir and Schwarzriesling. Visitors can sample directly at the stands with a festival glass.

Food and Live Music

The Lembergerland Winery will serve regional specialties: grilled winemaker steak, Maultaschen, sausage salad, Flammkuchen, and sweets from the farm café. Over the four festival days, live bands, brass bands, and DJs will alternate, creating an evening atmosphere under the open sky. The warm spring air at the foot of the Roßwager Halde makes the festival one of the region's earliest major wine festivals.

The Roßwager Halde — One of Württemberg's Steepest Vineyards

Roßwag is a district of Vaihingen an der Enz in the Ludwigsburg district. The vineyard that gives it its name, the Roßwager Halde, is one of Württemberg's steepest terraced vineyards with a gradient of up to 65 percent. The Lembergerland Winery unites around 470 wine-growing families from Roßwag and the surrounding wine villages of Mühlhausen, Großsachsenheim, and Hohenhaslach. A visit to the festival can be ideally combined with a hike through the steep vineyards.

Vaihingen an der Enz — Town Between Stuttgart and Pforzheim

The large district town of Vaihingen an der Enz, with around 30,000 inhabitants, is located between Stuttgart and Pforzheim in the Ludwigsburg district. With its medieval old town, Kaltenstein Castle, and vineyards along the Enz River, it is one of Württemberg's most beautiful wine towns. The Roßwager Weinfest is one of the highlights of the wine year in the region.
