    The vineyards in the Mainschleife north of the picturesque town of Volkach, around the church of Mary in the vineyard, belong to the location "Volkacher councilman". It is located at about 200 m above sea level and is exposed to the south with a slope of about 45%. Located in a very narrow valley close to the riverbank, the microclimate is very sheltered and warm there. The naming tradition goes back to an episode during the Thirty Years' War, when a drinking-resistant citizen, disguised as a councilor, allegedly drunk a captain of the Swedish army under the table and saved the city of Volkach from plunder. In the situation «council man» today mainly Riesling, Silvaner and Pinot Blanc are cultivated.

      The situation Volkacher councilman belongs to the large position "Volkacher Kirchberg", which originated exactly here.

        Maria im Weingarten is a pilgrimage chapel that is worth a detour. Mainly because of the Riemenschneider Madonna "Maria im Rosenkranz", which was stolen in a night-and-fog operation in the 1960s and found its way back, not least thanks to the work of Henri Nannen.
