Wipfeld Street Wine Festival

Franconian Wine Under Half-Timbered Houses on the Main Loop

As the summer evenings grow long, the small wine-growing community of Wipfeld invites you to one of its most popular festivals. The Straßenweinfest (street wine festival) has been a staple of the Franconian wine calendar for years and is considered a insider tip for those who prefer to trade the hustle and bustle of large Bavarian beer festivals for Silvaner, Bacchus, and a bit of Main tranquility. Wine stands from Wipfeld's vintners line up directly on the historic market square, subtly illuminated between the half-timbered facades.

The Wipfelder Zehntgraf Vineyard

Only wines from the renowned Wipfelder Zehntgraf steep slope, considered one of the best in Franconia, are served. From young, fresh 'Schoppen' (a glass of wine) to noble white and red wines at the wine and Secco bar, everything is available. Particularly popular are the regional specialties: Traminer, Grauer Burgunder (Pinot Gris), classic Silvaner, and Bacchus.

Franconian Food and Atmosphere

To accompany the wine, the Wipfeld locals serve their well-known hearty Franconian specialties – from Bratwurst and Schäufele to Käsespätzle and Flammkuchen. The atmosphere is familiar, intergenerational, and typically Franconian-relaxed. Locals, day-trippers, and cyclists on the Main cycle path gather in the market square in the evenings.

Wipfeld and the Main Loop

Wipfeld is located in the Schweinfurt district in Bavaria, directly on the Main river between Volkach and Schweinfurt. The village is part of the famous Volkacher Mainschleife (Volkach Main loop) – one of Germany's most beautiful wine regions. A visit to the street wine festival can be ideally combined with a boat trip on the Main, a hike through the vineyards, or a detour to Volkach and the pilgrimage church of Maria im Weingarten.
