Wincheringen Christmas Market (Marché de Noël)

Christmas Market at the Three-Country Corner

The Wincheringen Christmas Market sees itself as a German-Luxembourgish Advent event in a region that economically and culturally belongs to the greater region of Luxembourg, Lorraine, and Saar-Moselle. The designation "Marché de Noël" consciously adopts the French term to emphasize its cross-border character. Wincheringen is located directly on the Upper Moselle, opposite the Luxembourgish Moselle side — a location that is also reflected in the mix of visitors.

Advent Atmosphere in the Village Center

On December 12th and 13th, 2026, the center of Wincheringen will be transformed into a compact Christmas market. Mulled wine and punch stands, illuminated huts, regional specialties, and craft offerings form the backbone of the market. Its manageable size makes the market a personal experience — unlike the large urban Christmas markets in Trier or Luxembourg City, the focus here is on community spirit.

Upper Moselle Wines by the Glass

A special Advent feature of the Wincheringen Marché de Noël is the connection of its mulled wine to the Upper Moselle: The mulled wines often come from local wineries and are based on typical Upper Moselle grape varieties. This sets the market apart from standard mulled wine offerings and conveys an authentic connection to the local wine culture. In addition, punch, hot drinks, and non-alcoholic alternatives are served.

Family Program and Crafts

The family program ranges from visits by St. Nicholas to small stages with musical performances and activities for children. The stands offer handmade products from the region — ceramics, wood, textile crafts, jewelry, jams, and honey. Those looking for regional Christmas gifts will often find them in Wincheringen — and often combine the market with a walk along the Moselle or a trip to Luxembourg.
