About Straßenweinfest Ediger
The Straßenweinfest in Ediger traditionally takes place on the second weekend of September and marks the slow transition from summer to autumn on the Moselle. While the first grapes are being harvested on the steep slopes, vintners, locals, and guests meet in the narrow alleys of the village center to taste the wines of the past vintage and enjoy the conviviality of the Moselle autumn.
The setting is extraordinary: Ediger is considered one of the best-preserved half-timbered villages in the Middle Moselle region. Medieval town gates, the late Gothic collegiate church of St. Martin with its remarkable wall paintings, cobblestone alleys, and lovingly restored townhouses form the backdrop for the festival. The wineries from Ediger and the surrounding area present their current wines at the main stations along the festival mile.
The focus is on the wine itself—not showmanship, not big stages, but direct conversation between vintner and guest. The wines come exclusively from the Calmont slopes, whose gradients of up to 65 degrees offer unique conditions for mineral-driven Rieslings. The wine tasting is complemented by regional specialties: vintner's snacks (Winzervesper), tarte flambée, Eifel cheese, Schwenkbraten (grilled pork neck), and autumnal specialties.
The Straßenweinfest has become an insider tip for wine lovers who want to experience authentic Moselle life beyond the large festival tents. Those who want to enjoy wine in its original context and in a relaxed atmosphere will find the right setting here.
