Three-day wine festival in the historic barn district by the Steinhuder Meer lake with vintners from all over Germany, live music, and tarte flambée
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.
The selection of participating vintners is made annually by the organisers. Typically expected are:
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.
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.
The program follows the proven mix of tasting, gastronomy, and a relaxed soundscape. The exact list of vintners and the music program for 2026 will be published by the organiser in spring.
