Wine Festival in the Kastanienallee Nordheim

Start of the Wine Festival Season on the Main Loop

The Wine Festival in the Kastanienallee Nordheim is considered the traditional kick-off of the regional open-air wine festival season in the Franconian wine region. Nordheim am Main in the Kitzingen district is one of Franconia's largest wine-growing communities and is picturesquely located on the Main loop. The shady Kastanienallee provides the atmospheric setting for one of the first major wine festivals of the year.

Four Wineries and Two Producer Cooperatives

Four Nordheim wineries, the Insel WeinMacher winemakers' cooperative, and the DIVINO cooperative invite you to the festival. Typical Franconian wines are served – from fresh Silvaner to aromatic Burgundian varieties. Admission is free.

Franconian Delicacies and Music

• Over 2,500 seats in the open air
• Culinary offerings ranging from a mobile butcher shop to potato, pasta, pizza, and fish specialties, as well as sweets and crêpes
• Live music and DJ programs on several evenings

The "Father's Day Wine Festival"

Because the opening traditionally falls on Ascension Day, the festival is widely known as the "Father's Day Wine Festival". Thousands of visitors from all over Lower Franconia come every year to enjoy Franconian wine culture in a relaxed avenue atmosphere.
