Join us on our guided tours through the four seasons in the vineyards of the Luxembourg Moselle and discover how the landscape and the work of the winegrowers change with the seasons.
Once the vines have shed their leaves and entered their winter dormancy, the focus shifts from the vineyards to the cellar. Here, we give participants an insight into the quiet but crucial phase of wine maturation and learn how the wine develops its character during the winter.
