Lünen's Three-Day Wine Festival Kicks Off with Local Flavors and Live Music

Lünen’s city centre is preparing for a three-day wine festival from June 11 to 13. The event will feature local wineries, live music, and Alsatian-style flammkuchen—a crispy flatbread topped with cream, onions, and bacon. Visitors can explore wines and culinary treats in the pedestrian zone near Lange Straße and Neuberinstraße. The festival kicks off on Thursday, June 11, with an after-work evening. From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., guests can enjoy performances by the Lünen Shanty Choir and the violin trio Elcipse. The next day, Mayor Martina Förster-Teutenberg will officially open the event at 7 p.m.

Several well-known wineries will present their selections, including Wilhelmy Winery, Schnabel Winery, Jakobshof Winery, and Adam Winery. The gourmet workshop *Heimathäppchen – mit Herz von Hand* from Werne will also attend, offering wines from Kesselring Winery alongside their own dishes. Meanwhile, the *Flammkuchenschmiede* will serve freshly made *flammkuchen* throughout the festival. Opening hours extend from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, the festival runs from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., giving visitors extra time to sample wines and enjoy the atmosphere. The event is supported by *Provinzial – Ihre Lünen Branches*, Volksbank Lünen, and Wischbar GmbH Lünen.

The wine festival will bring together local winemakers, musicians, and food vendors in Lünen’s pedestrian zone. With extended hours on Saturday and a mix of entertainment, the event aims to attract both wine enthusiasts and casual visitors. Organisers expect a lively turnout over the three days.
