Mosel Wine Estates Open Their Doors
Piesport is one of the great names of the Middle Mosel. The top vineyard site Piesporter Goldtröpfchen produces Rieslings on slate that set international standards. During the Winery Courtyard Festival in August, the Piesport wine-growing families open their courtyards to the public: instead of an anonymous large stand, you will be welcomed in the inner courtyards, vaulted cellars, and front gardens of the houses, often by the vintner or a family member personally.
A Route Through the Village
With the Piesport festival glass in hand, you wander along a signposted route from one estate to another, tasting a selection of the house wines at each stop and discovering the historic architecture of the Mosel wine village along the way. Each estate offers its own culinary highlights – sometimes wood-fired Flammkuchen, sometimes game dishes, sometimes cheese specialties, or Mosel bratwurst. Live music and cabaret in individual courtyards create a festive atmosphere.
Riesling and Roman Press
The focus is on Piesport Riesling in all its styles – from dry-mineralic Kabinett to noble sweet Auslese. Those seeking more background can visit the reconstructed Roman wine press facility on the outskirts of the village: an impressive testament to the fact that wine has been produced in this bend of the Mosel for almost 2000 years. The combination of living wine tradition and ancient wine archaeology makes this event unique on the Mosel.
