The Moselle forms the natural border between Luxembourg and Germany. It is here, in the vineyards surrounding the river, that the grapes of the excellent Moselle wines and crémants flourish. The family of Domaines Vinsmoselle winegrowers now includes 240 wineries. One of them is the Caves de Grevenmacher, situated on the banks of the river. Here, you can taste the various wines, get advice as to which one to choose, and purchase the desired wines. Larger events and functions for groups can also take place here.
The winery is a member of the Domaines Vinsmoselle cooperative that was founded in 1921 and is now the leading producer of wine and crémants in Luxembourg. The winegrowers’ cooperative has four sites along the Moselle. The winery in Wormeldange, in Art Deco style, is where the prestigious Poll-Fabaire brand of Luxembourg crémant is produced. The winery team will welcome you by the shores of the Moselle and take you on a tour on which you can learn to appreciate the wide range of different Luxembourg wines and crémants. In summer you can taste the different grape varieties that are used to make Moselle wines as you relax on the sunny terrace, surrounded by vineyards.
Founded in 1930, the Caves de Wellenstein is now the largest site of the Domaines Vinsmoselle, which includes 240 wineries. It is the control center of the worldwide shipment of Vinsmoselle wines from the Grand Duchy. The pressing of the straw wine in the traditional old cellar is one of Wellenstein’s annual highlights. The wine tavern and banqueting hall are perfect places to celebrate this too.
Cellar tours can be reserved all year round, except during harvest time (approx. September). Duration: approx. 60 minutes.

Located on top of the vineyards in Remich, we are a small winery that puts all its passion into our wine fields. We believe that quality wines are made in harmony with nature and only first-class grapes are used to create wines with character.
We exported this philosophy to Bordeaux and Côtes de Roussillon, where we work in collaboration with local winemakers that share our vision.
A good wine deserves an ideal environment to be fully enjoyed. At our winery, Am Wäikeller, anywhere we bring our wine, we work hard to be worthy to enjoy wine.

On the steep, sun drenched slopes of the valley where the river Moselle has carved its way, man has been cultivating grapevines for more than two thousand years. This narrow band of land found around Stadtbredimus consisting of warmer calcareous marls, mingled with thin keuper layers and compact stony argillaceous limestone soil, offer best growing conditions for vines. The overlapping of these soils, formed in far distant times around Stadtbredimus makes this terroir unique. A wide variety of grapevines find here a perfect environment. Wines that originate Stadtbredimus excel in aromas, richness and freshness.
Since the beginning of grape growing in Luxembourg, man has managed to adapt to the natural environment. Today Cep D’or is doing a spectacular replanting in order to produce high quality grapes. Daily consumption type wines have been much reduced in order to produce a wider range of noble varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Gewürztraminer and even Muscat Ottonel. Cep D’or has opted for sustained farming without the use of insecticides. The production of low yields for the benefit of quality rather than quantity has become our quality philosophy.
The Moselle Valley, nestled between the vine covered slopes, is proof of the creativity and entrepreneurship of generations of dedicated winegrowers. We are aware of the challenge to keep alive this great tradition.
The Vesque family, owners of the Cep D’or Estate, look back to the origins of this estate in 1762 when their ancestors settled here from Lorraine (France).
