Escherndorf is a well-known nationwide Wine-growing place and is due to the Volkacher Mainschleife in the east of the Main triangle. The most famous vineyard in the area is the "Escherndorfer Lump", the wines are among the best in Franconia.
background
A "Main crossing" with an associated settlement on Vogelsberg is suspected earlier, the place name Escherndorf appears in 1316 as Villa Eschrichsdorf and in 1422 as Eschersdorff. From 1540 the two Häckerdörfer Escherndorf and Köhler belonged to the Hochstift Würzburg and became part of Bavaria after the secularization in 1814. Escherndorf became a district of the city in 1972 Volkach.
The hamlet of Köhler is just under two kilometers further south (downstream) on the Main and has around 30 inhabitants.

- 2 Gasthaus to the Main view (Poison hut, Franconian cuisine made from regional products, fish and home-grown wines), Astheimer Strasse 51, 97332 Volkach. Tel.: 49 (0)9381 1266. The nickname "poison hut" comes from the 19th century, when the village priest insulted the brick hut as a "poison hut" because of the nights in which the locals were repeatedly drinking in the sermon.
Wine
Escherndorf is still in the valley floor and on the north side of the Main, directly behind the village are the slopes of Vogelberg. The slopes, which are up to 70 degrees steep, are curved on the inside of the Main loop, protected from cold winds to the north and open like a concave mirror or amphitheater to the south. The floors consist of shell limestone with a lime-marl clay layer. These particularly favorable conditions for viticulture made the high-quality wines from Escherndorf known far beyond the region as early as the 19th century, and one of the fans was Goethe. Today these environmental conditions are marketed as "terroir".
The vineyards of Escherndorf are Lump, Fürstenberg and Berg. The vineyard in the village of Köhler is the Neusetz Glatze. Above all, the Franconian grape variety Silvaner and also the Müller-Thurgau, but also Riesling, Bacchus and other white and red wine varieties. The specialty in Escherndorf are the noble sweet wines such as Spätlese, Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslesen / Silvanereiswein, definitely not "cheap": Beerenauslesen are around € 35 for 0.5 liters, but "still affordable" compared to other regions. There are a good dozen wineries in total, and various reviews have ranked them among the best in Germany.
