Remich

The riverside wine town on the Moselle facing Germany — Caves Saint Martin sparkling wine cellars, river cruises, and vineyard walks. Remich sits on the Luxembourg bank of the Moselle river, which forms the German border here. The Esplanade — a broad riverside promenade lined with cafés and hotels — is the town's front door and the reason most visitors come: sit with a Riesling looking across at the vineyards on the German side, take an hour-long cruise, or walk south along the river to the Caves Saint Martin sparkling wine cellars carved into the hillside. The town center is small and mostly serves the tourists who come for the wine.The Luxembourg Moselle produces respectable dry Rieslings and Auxerrois plus a lot of Crémant de Luxembourg (traditional-method sparkling wine that's often better value than Champagne). Wineries along the road between Remich, Wormeldange and Grevenmacher offer tastings; the Route du Vin between them is Luxembourg's short-and-sweet wine route. Suits wine-focused travelers, retirees, and anyone who wants a slower Moselle-valley pace. Skip if you want serious sightseeing — there isn’t much beyond the wine and the river.

Questions, answered

▸

Is Luxembourg Moselle wine actually any good?

Yes for dry Riesling, Auxerrois and Crémant. The wines rarely reach the heights of nearby Mosel Germany, but the Crémant is consistently good value and the small-producer whites are genuinely worth trying. Avoid the mass-produced Elbling — it's the local everyday wine and it's thin.

▸

Can I visit multiple wineries in a day without a car?

Yes — bus 175 stops at wineries along the Route du Vin between Remich, Stadtbredimus, Wormeldange and Grevenmacher. Cycling is faster and more flexible. A designated non-drinking driver is essential if you’re serious about tastings.
