Moselle Valley - the vineyard paradise

Grevenmacher The principal town of Luxembourg’s Moselle wine growing region, Grevenmacher is linked to the German bank of the river by a bridge. Grevenmacher is an old town with narrow streets, the remains of medieval fortifications, and a 13th century Belfry.

The town’s claim to fame is the wine cellars of Caves Bernard-Massard, whose sparkling wines are internationally acclaimed. The cellars are open daily for tasting, April to October, from 9.30am to 6pm.  There is a small museum in the town, and an exotic butterfly garden. Grevenmacher is also an embarkation point for regular scenic river cruises on the Moselle, which call at other quaint villages in the region.

Wine Museum at Ehnen
The Wine Museum is located in a former vintner's house in the picturesque village of Ehnen on the banks of the river Moselle. The splendid old winemaking farm was taken over by the government in 1974. After their restoration, the main house and its annexes have housed the Wine Museum since 1978. The museum shows the history of vine-growing, the evolution of the equipment and the machinery through the centuries, and the various phases of work in the vineyard according to the seasons. It also houses an ancient cooper's workshop, a blacksmith's shop of yesteryear, and the former weights and measures office of the village. To the rear of the museum is a well maintained vineyard planted with all the different varieties of wine that grow in Luxembourg.
