Wine Festival in the Postcard Town
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is considered the epitome of a medieval German town – with its complete city wall, the half-timbered houses at Plönlein, and the famous Burggasse. The Rothenburg Wine Village takes place against this backdrop – a summer wine festival that takes over the city center in August.
Concept
- Restaurateurs and Partner Vintners: Local Rothenburg restaurateurs participate together with their Franconian partner vintners – a direct connection between the city and the Franconian wine region.
- Venue Grüner Markt and Kirchplatz: The two central squares in the city center are decorated with standing tables, wooden tables, and wine arbors – Franconian wine festival atmosphere against a medieval backdrop.
- Specialties: In addition to Franconian quality wines, selected specialties of regional and international cuisine are served – a mix of classic Franconian and upscale international.
- Opening Hours: Wednesday and Thursday 5:00 PM–11:00 PM, Friday 4:00 PM–Midnight, Saturday 4:00 PM–Midnight, Sunday 12:00 PM–10:00 PM.
Federal State and Cultural Context
Bavaria, administrative region Middle Franconia, district Ansbach. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the most visited cities in Germany for international tourism – the Romantic Road leads directly through it. The Wine Village uses the backdrop and extends the stay of day visitors into the evening.
