Sommerach is a municipality in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen and a member of the Volkach administrative community. Sommerach's history is closely linked to the Benedictine monastery in Münsterschwarzach, which ruled the town for a long time. In addition, several other noble families, including the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach, were wealthy here.

With 232 hectares of vineyards (2017), Sommerach is one of the larger wine-growing communities in the Franconian wine-growing region. With the Sommeracher Katzenkopf, the community owns one of the best-known vineyards in Franconia. The wine characterizes the village in many ways. In 1901, the oldest wine cooperative in Franconia was founded here. The center of the festival calendar is the annually celebrated Altort Wine Festival.

The centuries-old cultural landscape of the wine island with the vine-covered Kreuzberg in the center attracts tourists just as much as the largely preserved early modern town center, which has won several awards. Sommerach has a partially still existing town wall with two intact gates. The center of the town is the Catholic Eucharius Church. In addition, many Häcker houses and last but not least the former official buildings of the village lords form an ensemble worth seeing.

After Sommerach was repeatedly subjected to military conquests in the 15th century, the abbots of Münsterschwarzach, who ruled the village at the time, began to build a ring wall with four gates around the village. The mightiest gate of the fortification was located in the south-east of the village, because that is where the road to the monastery of the landlords in Schwarzach ran.
