Overnight stays in Volkach (5 km away), Eltmann, or Würzburg are recommended – Obereisenheim itself has few accommodation options.

From Wine Village to Festival Venue

Obereisenheim is the largest district of the market town Eisenheim in the Würzburg district, Mainfranken. The historic village center with its half-timbered houses, sandstone buildings, and narrow alleys forms the natural backdrop for a street wine festival – the houses are so close together that the entire main street becomes a festival mile. The Obereisenheim Winegrowers' Association – an alliance of several local winegrowing families – has been organizing the festival since 1981. 2026 marks the 46th edition.

"Höllentage" – Program and Atmosphere

The festival name Höllentage is meant ironically: three days of concentrated wine culture in a tiny village center – the Franconian equivalent of a bacchanal. Specifically, this means:

Friday, 6 PM: Opening with a barrel tapping in a vintner's courtyard, followed by live music in several courtyards simultaneously
Saturday: All-day festival operation, in the evening several live bands playing concurrently in different courtyards – visitors wander between the courtyards, tasting wine and enjoying music
Sunday: Morning pint with brass music, festival service, festival winding down in the evening

Main Franconian Wine Directly from the Vintner

The Obereisenheim Winegrowers' Association comprises about a dozen family wineries. They serve classic Franconian wine styles: Silvaner dry in the Bocksbeutel bottle, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, Domina as a red wine complement. The vineyards on the Maindreieck (Eisenheim, Obervolkach, Astheim) provide the limestone subsoil that gives Franconian wines their typical character. The wine program is accompanied by tavern cuisine: Schäuferla (pork shoulder), Bratwürste (sausages), Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle), Käsewürfel (cheese cubes), Franconian snack platters.

Eisenheim and the Maindreieck

Eisenheim is located in the Maindreieck, the Franconian wine-growing region between Würzburg, Volkach, and Kitzingen. The market town with around 1,300 inhabitants is a hidden gem for wine lovers seeking to avoid the mass tourism levels of Volkach or Sommerach. The Höllentage is the town's largest annual event.
