About Weinstand Riol

The Weinstand Riol will reopen its seasonal doors on May 1, 2026, directly on the Moselle riverbank, serving wines and sparkling wines from various Riol vintners on weekends until the end of October. The stand is a classic Moselle 'Straußwirtschaft' (a type of seasonal wine tavern), welcoming Moselle tourists, cyclists on the Moselle Cycle Path, and hikers on the Moselle Trail throughout the summer season. Information about the wine village of Riol, its wineries, gastronomy, and leisure activities complements the offering.

Classics on the Middle Moselle

Riol is located directly on the right bank of the Moselle between Schweich and Mehring, nestled in the slate hills of the Middle Moselle. The wine stand on the Moselle riverbank is a classic seasonal Moselle establishment: an open pavilion with a wine bar, seating by the water, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're on the Moselle Cycle Path, the Moselle Trail, or traveling by car, you'll find an uncomplicated stop here.

Rotating Riol Vintners

The glasses will feature wines from various Riol vintners. Participation rotates throughout the season – each participating winery presents itself for a few weekends and can showcase its wines directly at the stand. This format simultaneously serves as advertising for the small Riol producers and offers a diverse selection for regular guests who visit frequently.

Sparkling Wine Specialties and Moselle Riesling

The focus is on Riesling, sparkling wine, and smaller Moselle classics. The menu includes dry and off-dry Rieslings, sparkling wines made from Riesling and Pinot varieties, as well as seasonal specialties like 'Federweißer' (young wine) in autumn. Small snacks (bread, cheese, sausage, cake on weekends) round off the offering – the stand is designed as a place to linger, not as a full restaurant.

Moselle Tourism with Local Tips

The stand functions as an informal tourist information point for Riol: information about Riol's wineries, restaurants, and cafés, walks in the vineyards, and Moselle Trail routes are gladly shared. This makes the wine stand a good starting point for those who want to get to know Riol better.

Weinstand Riol — edition 2026

The Weinstand Riol will kick off the new season on May 1, 2026, and will be open on weekends until the end of October. Rotating Riol vintners will present wine and sparkling wine on the Moselle riverbank, accompanied by small snacks. The stand is a classic stop on the Moselle Cycle Path and for hikers on the Moselle Trail. Free admission, consumption at the counter.

The 2026 season continues the proven format. The Riol vintners organize the staffing of the stand on a weekly rotation themselves. Current opening hours will be communicated via notices at the stand and on the website of the local community of Riol.

The stand typically opens on weekends from late afternoon, and on special days (Pentecost, Corpus Christi, May Day) also during the day.
