wein&main Sand am Main

Wine Festival on the Altmainufer

wein&main is a atmospheric wine festival of the municipality of Sand am Main in the Upper Franconian district of Haßberge. The venue is the Sander Altmainufer – an idyllic festival site directly on the old Main river arm, which gives the festival its special character. Franconian wine is celebrated here on a weekend in June.

Four Sand Winemakers

The focus is on four local winemakers from Sand who serve their wines. The concentration on local producers makes wein&main an authentic festival of Franconian wine culture, where visitors can experience the diversity of Sand's vineyards directly from the winemakers. Franconian wine is one of the defining products of Upper Franconia, and Sand am Main is one of the traditional wine-growing towns in the region.

Enjoyment and Music by the Water

Good food and live music complete the festival. The location on the Altmainufer invites you to linger – with a glass of wine, Franconian specialties, and music on a balmy summer evening. The festival appeals to wine lovers, families, and guests from the entire Haßberge district.

Independent Festival

wein&main is clearly distinct from the larger Altmain wine festival in July, which also takes place on the Sander Altmainufer. While the Altmain wine festival is a multi-day major event with well-known music bands, wein&main focuses on a more compact, winemaker-centric setting – however, both festivals bear witness to Sand's vibrant wine tradition.
