Open Cellar Days Ürzig

Whitsun in a Classic Vineyard Site

Ürzig is located in one of the most impressive steep-slope vineyards of the entire Mosel region. The "Würzgarten" vineyard site has been among the best-known and highest-quality sites in the growing region for centuries. Characteristic are the red and grey slate soils with volcanic rock and the extremely steep slope, which offer the vines unique conditions. The Open Cellar Days over Whitsun are an ideal opportunity to get to know these sites and their wines directly from the vintner families.

Four Days of Open Courtyards

From Friday, May 22nd, to Whit Monday, May 25th, 2026, the Ürzig vintners will open their cellars, vinotheques, and courtyards. Riesling is the focus – in dry, off-dry, as well as fruity-sweet and noble-sweet styles, which are typical for the Middle Mosel. In addition, there will be Spätburgunder, Sekt (sparkling wine), and in some cases, specialties such as Trockenbeerenauslese (dried berry selection) or Eiswein (ice wine) from older vintages.

Accompanying Food Offerings

Regional dishes are served with the wines in the courtyards: Flammkuchen (tarte flambée), Bratwurst (fried sausage), Schiefertaler ham, cheese platters, salads, and sweet specialties. Several courtyards also offer guided tastings in small groups, where vineyard sites, vintage characteristics, and style issues are explained in depth.

Hike-Friendly

Ürzig is located directly on the Moselsteig hiking trail and the Mosel Cycle Path. The open cellar days can be ideally combined with a hike through the steep slopes or a bike tour along the Mosel. Particularly impressive is the viewpoint at the rock formation above the village, which offers a view of the Mosel loop and the famous vineyard sites.
