Wine & Goat Cheese Trittenheim

Food Pairing in the Mittelmosel

"Wine & Goat Cheese" is one of the specialized food pairing formats that have increasingly shaped the Mosel wine region in recent years. Goat cheese, with its characteristic acidity and nutty-spicy spectrum, forms an ideal counterpart to Mosel Riesling – fresh young wines correspond with fresh goat cheese, more mature cheeses harmonize with aged, mineralic single vineyard wines. On September 18, 2026, Weingut Eifel-Pfeiffer in Trittenheim will present this spectrum in a compact evening format.

Trittenheim Riesling Meets Cheese

The wines from Weingut Eifel-Pfeiffer come from Trittenheim vineyards and carry the typical Mittelmosel style: pronounced minerality, lively acidity, clear fruit. In pairing with goat cheese, the acidity of both components points in the same direction, complemented by the fruity depth of the Riesling. The range of wines, from dry estate Riesling and off-dry cuvées to noble sweet Spätlese, is presented in correspondence with different cheese types.

Tasting and Explanation

The format combines tasting with explanation. Cheese-wine pairings are presented at several stations, each with background information on cheese production, aging process, vineyard site, and wine style. Those who have not yet experienced the food pairing principle intensively will receive a compact, sensory introduction; for connoisseurs, the program offers deeper insights and new taste comparisons.

Trittenheim as a Food Pairing Destination

In addition to its traditional wine and farm festivals, Trittenheim is increasingly developing into a destination for specialized wine enjoyment formats. "Wine & Goat Cheese" joins the Trittenheim September calendar, which offers a dense wine program with Winetime, WeinWandern (Wine Hiking), and the Weinstand im Moselvorland (Wine Stand in the Mosel Foreland). Those who combine several events can create a complete Trittenheim September weekend.
