73 years old and still young at heart – that about sums up the history of the Franconian Wine Fest in Volkach. The festival offers seating under plane trees for around 7,000 guests. Annually, the wine festival draws over 50,000 visitors from far beyond the city limits.
Guests can enjoy almost 60 different wines from seven independent wineries and four wine cooperatives from the area. There are home-made culinary treats and, always popular, there is quite a variety of musical entertainment. Unplugged Franconian brass music, a night of musical hits and oldies, and popular bands entertain the guests. Special highlights include fireworks on Friday night and the sparkler magic of the Wine Princesses on Monday evening. Find details on all the festival happenings at www.volkach.de
