Lieser dreht auf – Wine and Hof Festival

Lieser – a classic Mosel wine village

Lieser is located directly on the banks of the Mosel between Bernkastel-Kues and Brauneberg. The village has largely retained its classic Mosel character, with historic vintner houses, a parish church, and the striking Schloss Lieser, which towers above the village. The local vintners cultivate the traditional vineyards around Lieser and use the "Lieser dreht auf" Hof festival to connect the village into a shared festival route.

Three days of wine and courtyard atmosphere

From Friday, September 11, starting at 11 AM until Sunday, September 13, 2026, the Lieser vintners will open their courtyards for wine tastings, regional dishes, and live music. Riesling is the focus, complemented by Müller-Thurgau, Weißburgunder, Spätburgunder, and sparkling wines. The courtyards serve Mosel cuisine – Flammkuchen, Bratwurst, Schiefertaler ham, cheese platters, and sweet specialties.

Music in the courtyards

Live music in selected courtyards creates additional atmosphere. The program remains in the character of a Hof festival: acoustic sets, small bands, and occasional cover bands create atmosphere without the festival becoming purely a concert event.

Late summer on the Middle Mosel

Mid-September is a particularly charming time on the Mosel: the grape harvest begins, the weather is usually mild, and the days still have a summer feel. Those who want to combine "Lieser dreht auf" with a stage on the Moselsteig trail or a cycling tour along the Mosel will find ideal conditions.
