Christmas mulled wine festival of the Trittenheim Wine Youth on December 11, 2026, on the Moselle
In the second week of Advent, Trittenheim transforms for one evening into a small, very personal meeting place for Advent enthusiasts. The Trittenheim Wine Youth—an association of young wine lovers from the village, often with family ties to local wineries—manages the serving, setup, and program. The Adventsglühen is the younger, more intimate sister to the large Trittenheim wine festivals and is deliberately designed as a manageable club event.
The focus is on mulled wines and winter cuvées from Trittenheim vintners. The Wine Youth uses the festival to also present ready-to-drink mulled wines and hot punch variations, coordinated with participating wineries in the preceding weeks. Additionally, there are non-alcoholic hot drinks, hot drinks made from regional juices, and small snacks for the long evening.
The Trittenheim Wine Youth sees itself as a link between the traditional wineries and the next generation of Moselle wine. Activities range from wine tastings for young adults and wine hikes to assisting with major events like the Trittenheim Wine Festival. The Adventsglühen is one of the club's self-financing events—the proceeds go towards club work, travel, and youth development.
Trittenheim is picturesquely located in the well-known Moselle loop. In winter, the village is much quieter than during the peak summer season, but during Advent, individual festivals liven up the Moselle community. The Adventsglühen complements the series of smaller Advent events along the Middle Moselle and is often visited by day-trippers from the greater Trier area in conjunction with a winter walk along the Moselle.
The 2026 Adventsglühen is designed as an Advent evening in a convivial, manageable setting. The Wine Youth manages the serving and stalls, offering mulled wine and punch from local vintners, non-alcoholic hot drinks, and small winter snacks.
The exact program for 2026 will be announced by the organizer in November. The focus is on meeting, enjoying Moselle wine, and pre-Christmas togetherness.
The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in spring/summer. The structure follows the proven key points of previous years:
