Grevenmacher Grape and Wine Festival

Enthronement of the Luxembourg Wine Queen


On the Luxembourg Moselle, in the so-called Miselerland, it is mainly single-varietal, dry white wines - Rivaner and Elbling ,but also Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer - that are pressed. Grevenmacher is the center of vine cultivation, which was already practiced here in Roman times.
