About Wein und Mehr Eller

The street wine festival “Wein und Mehr” (Wine and More) in the Eller district marks the last major wine festival of the season on the Untermosel. Over the extended October weekend around German Unity Day, vintners from Eller and the nearby Calmont region transform the alleys of their home village into an open wine mile. Open cellars, courtyards, and street stalls form a continuous tasting route, focusing on Rieslings from the latest harvest, mature Spätburgunder, and regional specialties. The name “Wein und Mehr” refers to the complementary offerings of arts and crafts, regional products, and a small cultural program.

When the last grapes are harvested in the steep slopes of the Calmont and the vineyards turn golden and red in autumn, the street wine festival “Wein und Mehr” begins in Eller. It is the last major wine festival of the season in the Eller district and, at the same time, an autumn showcase for the vintners, who present their current wines and Federweißer (new wine) here.

Eller lies at the foot of the Calmont, which, with gradients of up to 65 degrees, is considered one of the steepest vineyard sites in Europe. The wines that mature in these slate terraces are characterized by mineral depth and expressive fruit. At the street wine festival, vintners present their Spätlesen (late harvest), Auslesen (select harvest), and mature Burgundy wines in a setting that underscores the event's autumnal character: warm fairy lights, small fire bowls, autumnal decorations, and a calm, contemplative pace.

The concept complements the classic wine festival with additional offerings: regional artisans present ceramics, woodwork, and textiles; small manufacturers offer honey, jams, and liqueurs from the region. Acoustic music groups provide atmospheric accompaniment at several stations, without disrupting the character of an intimate street festival.

The extended October weekend around the public holiday makes “Wein und Mehr” a popular short break destination for gourmets from the Rhineland, the Ruhr area, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Those who want to experience the Moselle Valley in its full autumnal splendor will find the perfect occasion here.

Wein und Mehr Eller — edition 2026

From October 2nd to 4th, 2026, Eller transforms into an open wine mile. Over the extended weekend around German Unity Day, vintners from the Calmont region will present their current wines at stalls along the main street and in courtyards.
