"Wine Festival" Top 5 Page for this destination Konstanz Local Custom Tip by german_eagle

I happened to be in Konstanz during the annual wine festival which takes place at Stephansplatz in the old town from Wed to Sat in the last week of July. It is an event not to be missed - totally non-touristy, down-to-earth (unlike you might think of a wine festival) and popular among all age groups.

I saw school kids (legal drinking age is 16 in Germany), twens and older couples, seniors, and everyone had a great time, yours truly included. They play live music to get people into 'the mood'. Mostly local/regional wine and sparkling wine is sold at countless stalls, food includes BBQ food, Spätzle, Schupfnudeln (a regional specialty), pizza, etc.

Prices are average, not exactly cheap, but who cares ...
