Join us through the four seasons in the ‘Wéngert’ and see how the work of the winegrowers changes throughout the year. On the guided tours through the picturesque vineyards, you’ll immerse yourself in the world of the vines, learn about the seasonal work in the ‘Wéngert’ and gain insights into the art of ageing in the wine cellar. The tour concludes with a delightful tasting of four selected wines at a local winemaker’s – a perfect finale for all the senses.
Join us on our guided tours through the four seasons in the vineyards of the Luxembourg Moselle and discover how the landscape and the work of the winegrowers change with the seasons.
In summer, the focus is on tending the vines: soil preparation, vine protection and careful pruning. We’ll also learn what steps are still needed to turn the sun-kissed grapes into fine wine – both in the vineyard and later in the wine cellar.
After the roughly 4-kilometre-long walk through the vineyards – with sweeping views and fascinating insights – the crowning finale awaits: the wine!A local winemaker will present four tastings (5 cl each), so you can taste and enjoy the result of all the hard work in the vineyard straight from the glass.
