From plantation to tasting

The buildings of the Wine Museum face the Moselle, lie at the edge of a picturesque village and at the foot of hills planted with known wines.

Thanks to an important collection of tools and utensils donated or generously lent by several inhabitants of Ehnen and surroundings, thanks to photographic documents, the visitor can imagine how the various works in viticulture and in viniculture were done while passing through two halls set in ancient winery. Furthermore, the visitor can go into a model vineyard where the various vines are planted one next to each other and imagine which were the auxiliary jobs to the job of the winemaker. The visitor will also access a cooperage, a blacksmith and a gauging office.

The tasting of a good Moselle vintage will crown this informative and pleasant visit.
