Winnie at the Wiener Dog Derby - 45th Annual Hermann Wurstfest

🌭 Meet Winnie, the Nestle Inn’s Very Own Wiener Dog Racer at the 45th Annual Hermann Wurstfest!


If you needed one more reason to visit Hermann this spring, we’ve got a pretty adorable one. Our grandpup Winnie, yes, a true wiener dog with all the personality to match will be racing in the 45th Annual Hermann Wurstfest Wiener Dog Derby.


And we couldn’t be more proud.


Winnie will be taking her place among the finest (and funniest) four‑legged athletes in town. With her tiny legs, big spirit, and natural flair for the dramatic, she’s ready to charm the crowd and sprint her heart out.

📅 Catch Winnie in Action

Sunday, March 29, 2026 

Race Time: 2:00 PM 

Location: Hermann City Park



Whether she wins, trots, or gets distracted by a bratwurst, she’s already a champion in our hearts and we’d love for you to cheer her on.
