Weinfest Rednitzhembach

Weinfest Rednitzhembach — Bardolino visits Middle Franconia

Rednitzhembach is a municipality in the Roth district in the Bavarian administrative region of Middle Franconia, south of Nuremberg and Schwabach. Since 2004, a town partnership has connected Rednitzhembach with Bardolino, the well-known wine town on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The Weinfest (wine festival) originated from this friendship: since 2012, vintners from Bardolino have brought Italian flair to the Rathausplatz once a year.

Wines from Lake Garda and Franconia

The focus is on wines from Bardolino — the eponymous red wine, the rosé wine Chiaretto, and the sparkling wine Spumante. They are complemented by Franconian and other wines from Germany and abroad. A delegation from Bardolino travels regularly and pours their own wines — a lived town partnership in a glass.

Mediterranean Cuisine and Live Music

Culinary delights are dominated by Mediterranean specialties from the partner region, alongside regional Franconian delicacies. On both festival days, live music creates a great atmosphere in the Rathausplatz and the community center — there's dancing and celebrating into the evening.

Own Wine Glass and Free Admission

The festival is supported by local clubs and the municipality, with backing from Raiffeisenbank and Sparkasse Mittelfranken-Süd. Admission is free; for a contribution of 3 Euros, each guest receives a personal, reusable wine glass for the entire festival — a sustainable hallmark of the wine festival.

Rednitzhembach in the Rednitz Valley

The municipality is conveniently located on the S-Bahn line Nuremberg–Roth. The wine festival is an expression of the town's vibrant club and partnership culture and a fixed date in late summer for wine lovers from the entire Roth district and the greater Nuremberg area.
