The Luxembourg Moselle is located less than 20 km from the capital city of Luxembourg; the flagship wine which the region grows around its French and German neighbours retains its own unique style.
The wines of the Luxembourg Moselle are a delight for all lovers of wine: sparkling Crémant, elegant Riesling, white and red wines from the Pinot family, exotic Gewürztraminer, ethereal Rivaner and Auxerrois, late harvest and ice and straw wines; a culinary discovery that is limitless through the region and its terroir.
Have you always wanted to explore the Luxembourg Moselle, its award-winning still and sparkling wines? A perfect opportunity presents itself with the wine event "Wine, Taste, Enjoy" taking place over the Pentecost weekend. vineyard owners, wine cellars and cafés located along the Luxembourg Moselle are organising an open house weekend on Sunday 15 and Monday 16 May 2016 when 19 wineries and one distillery will participate in this wine tourism event.
A varied and interesting programme of activities is available to wine lovers, visitors and holiday-makers who do not know the vineyard area of ??the Grand Duchy, as well as to tourists visiting the region. Numerous activities such as wine and liquor tastings, guided walks in the vineyards, as well as carriage rides, attract both young and old. These activities take place in a friendly atmosphere, facilitating trade with winemakers and the Moselle residents. High-level cultural events such as art and photography exhibitions and music concerts complete the programme.
The wine cellars are open from 11:00 until 20:00 on both days and also offer culinary specialties outside normal opening hours.
Two museums, namely the "A Possen" Museum in Bech-Kleinmacher and the Wine Museum in Ehnen are also among the participants of the largest wine event in the region. From guided tours of a winemaker's home of the 19th century and a collection of vintage toys, to oenological discoveries at the Wine Museum, there is something for everyone.
The Mediterranean garden at Schwebsange, with its huge variety of exotic plants, will be open and also invites members of the public to sample organic wines.
