Weinfest der TSG Sommerhausen

Sommerhausen — a Mainfranken Idyll

About 15 kilometers south of Würzburg lies Sommerhausen am Main: a picturesque wine village with a medieval town wall, half-timbered houses, the famous Torturmtheater (the smallest professionally run theatre in Germany), and a strong viticultural tradition. Sommerhausen is one of the wine villages where Franconian wine culture can be experienced particularly intensely — from the traditional Bocksbeutel bottle to a classic Franconian wine tasting in one of the historic inns.

The TSG Wine Festival — Summer Tradition in Mainfranken

Several clubs in Sommerhausen organize their own wine festivals during the summer — the Weinfest der TSG Sommerhausen (Turn- und Sportgemeinschaft - Gymnastics and Sports Association) is one of the newest and at the same time most characteristic of these festivals. It takes place every year at the end of July / beginning of August on four consecutive evenings at the historic 'Am Plan' — Sommerhausen's central market square.

Program Pillars

• Bocksbeutel Bar with top wines from Sommerhausen and the surrounding area
• Bratwurst, cheese, fries, and Franconian specialties
• Live music on all four evenings with bands from the region
• Sociable gathering under the open sky amidst half-timbered houses and vineyards

Four Evenings from Thursday to Sunday

The festival runs daily from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. This late festival time is intentional: it fits the idea of a Franconian summer evening, where after work, following the sunset over the vineyards, people gather in the town centre for wine and conversation. The historic setting with its half-timbered facades, town wall, and the Main riverbank makes the festival visually one of the most beautiful in Mainfranken.
