About Weinfest Steinhude

The Weinfest Steinhude brings German wine culture to the Steinhuder Meer lake for three days. In the historic barn district, vintners from all over Germany – from Rheinhessen, Pfalz, and Mosel to Württemberg and Franken – present their wines for tasting and purchase. From June 12th to 14th, 2026, the historic courtyard will transform into an open wine mile with standing tables, beer bench sets, and seating areas. Tarte flambée, hearty specialties, bread, cheese, cold cuts, and vegetarian options complement the culinary offerings. Live music daily provides the right atmosphere. A relaxed, atmospheric event between thatched roofs and the harbour.

Wine Enjoyment at the Steinhuder Meer

In recent years, the Weinfest Steinhude has established itself as a popular event among North German wine festivals. The combination of a historic location (the barn district), a professional selection of wines (vintners from all over Germany), fitting gastronomy (tarte flambée, cheese, bread platters), and a relaxed atmosphere makes this format a summer highlight.

Vintners from All Over Germany

The selection of participating vintners is made annually by the organisers. Typically expected are:

  • Riesling specialists from the Mosel
  • Spätburgunder and Riesling vintners from Pfalz and Rheinhessen
  • Silvaner and Franconian wine representatives
  • Spätburgunder, Lemberger, and Trollinger from Württemberg
  • Sparkling wine manufacturers and sparkling wines

Program

The festival starts on Friday at 5 PM and runs all day on Saturday and Sunday. Live music accompanies the tastings – mostly acoustic sets, jazz, singer/songwriters, or small bands. The atmosphere is deliberately relaxed: no stage spectacle, but a pleasant soundscape for tasting, talking, and enjoying.

Setting: Barn District

The historic barn district on Meerstraße in Steinhude, with its old half-timbered buildings, courtyard, and close proximity to the Steinhuder Meer promenade, offers an extraordinary setting. Those who wish can combine their visit with a boat trip to the island fortress Wilhelmstein, a walk along the harbour, or a fish meal in one of the eel smokehouses.

Weinfest Steinhude — edition 2026

From June 12th to 14th, 2026, the Weinfest Steinhude will once again open the doors of the historic barn district for three days of German wine culture. Vintners from all over Germany will present their wines for tasting and purchase. Tarte flambée, cheese, bread, cold cuts, and vegetarian specialties will complement the offerings. Live music daily will provide the right atmosphere – mostly acoustic sets, jazz, or singer/songwriters. Friday from 5 PM, Saturday and Sunday all day. Admission is generally free.
