Winzer-, Wein- und Straßenfest Erden

A Classic Vineyard Site

Erden, with the vineyard sites "Erdener Treppchen" and "Erdener Prälat", is among the most renowned wine-growing communities of the Middle Mosel. The Prälat site – an extremely steep, south-facing slope directly on the Mosel with red slate soil – is considered one of the most sought-after Riesling sites in the world. Visitors to the Winzer-, Wein- und Straßenfest in Erden have a unique opportunity to taste these wines directly from the vintner families.

Street Festival with About a Dozen Vintners

From October 2nd to 4th, 2026, the village's main street will transform into a festival mile. Approximately twelve vintners will set up their stalls in front of their houses or courtyards, presenting their wines by the glass. Riesling dominates, complemented by Müller-Thurgau, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), and Sekt (sparkling wine). Federweißer (newly fermented wine) from the current harvest may also be available, depending on the vintage's progress.

Mosel Cuisine

Regional gastronomy complements the program: Flammkuchen, Bratwurst, Schiefertaler ham, cheese platters, soups, salads, and sweet specialties. Several courtyards also serve complete meals, focusing on traditional Mosel cuisine – a blend of German, French, and Luxembourgish influences.

International Audience

Over the years, the Erden street festival has developed into an event with a mixed international audience. Guests from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Great Britain, and Scandinavia are regularly present – wine tourists who appreciate the vineyard tradition of the Middle Mosel and take the opportunity to visit several Erden vintners in one weekend.
