An Old Tradition Between River and Vines
The Emmausgang dates back to the biblical story of the disciples at Emmaus on Easter Monday and is celebrated in many wine villages on the Rhine and Moselle as a convivial stroll. In Leutesdorf, this tradition shapes Easter Monday, combining religious roots with village sociability. The walk through the historic wine village is open to everyone, whether locals, guests from the region, or hikers on the right bank of the Middle Rhine.
Rustic Snacks and Exquisite Wines
Along the way, small dishes and wines from Leutesdorf vineyards are served at several stations. The village's vintners and associations participate in the catering, offering typical hearty dishes, bread, sausage, cheese, and other classics. The wines — primarily Riesling and Spätburgunder — come from the steep slopes of Gartenlay and Forstberg, which characterize the landscape above the village.
Family Outing on Easter Monday
In Leutesdorf, the Emmausgang is a family festival that connects generations. Grandparents, parents, and children walk the route together, meet acquaintances, chat, and enjoy the first warm spring days. Hikers and day-trippers visiting the Rhine Valley around Easter are also welcome.
Start of the Wine Season
The Emmausgang marks the beginning of the Leutesdorf wine event season, which extends throughout the year — from the Culinary Wine Experience on Mother's Day and the Rhine Valley Wine Date in June to the Christmas Market in December. Easter Monday signifies the start of the event year and sets the tone for the months ahead.
Emmausgang Leutesdorf — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the Leutesdorf tradition: meeting point in the village center, joint departure, and catering by vintners and associations along the route. The Emmausgang takes place in all weather conditions and adapts to the Easter Monday weather.
The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in the spring. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: joint departure in the morning, several catering stations along the route, and a cozy conclusion in the village center.
