About Weinfest Nottuln

When the long, festively decorated wooden benches are set up on the Stiftsplatz on a July weekend and the winegrower stalls open, the Weinfest (wine festival) in the historic town centre begins. The 2026 edition marks the 20th anniversary: three days of German wines, brass music, jazz combo, big band, and pop music in the atmospheric setting of the former collegiate church and the half-timbered houses of the Münsterland region.

Weinfest in the Stiftsplatz Ensemble

Nottuln is located in the heart of the Münsterland, about 20 kilometres west of Münster. The village belongs to the district of Coesfeld and is famous for its largely preserved historic town centre: the former collegiate church of St. Martinus, the Stiftsplatz with its cobblestones, and the surrounding half-timbered houses form a cohesive ensemble that can be considered one of the most beautiful village centres in North Rhine-Westphalia without exaggeration. This is exactly where the Weinfest takes place every July.

When and Where is the Festival?

The Weinfest Nottuln 2026 runs from Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th, 2026, on the Stiftsplatz. This edition marks the 20th anniversary of the festival, which originally began in September as part of a smaller Kirmes (funfair) and was permanently moved to July in 2022 due to growing popularity.

Three Days of Wine, Music, and Münsterland Atmosphere

The programme has remained true to itself for years, with annually changing musical focuses:

  • German Wines – Winegrowers from several German wine regions will be serving
  • Brass Music on Friday evening for the opening
  • Big Band and Jazz Combo alternating over the weekend
  • Pop Music Duo on Saturday evening
  • DJ Wine Festival Party late Saturday evening
  • Morning Pint (Frühschoppen) on Sunday morning with brass music
  • Long Wooden Benches with festive decorations across the entire Stiftsplatz

Opening Hours

Friday and Saturday until midnight, Sunday until 6 p.m. This makes the Weinfest a classic three-day format: two long evenings and a cosy Sunday.

Organised by the Municipality of Nottuln

The Weinfest is organised by the municipality of Nottuln together with local retailers and associations. The seating, stage setup, and logistics are coordinated through community marketing, and the winegrowers come from several German growing regions. Admission is free – only food and drinks are paid for.

Nottuln and the Münsterland

With a good 20,000 inhabitants, Nottuln is one of the larger municipalities in the district of Coesfeld. Its location in the Baumberge hills, the highest elevation in the Münsterland, makes it a popular excursion destination: cycling, hiking, eating out, a glass of wine on the Stiftsplatz. The Weinfest perfectly suits this quiet, cultivated character of the Münsterland.
