Wine Museum, Ehnen

The Wine Museum (Musée du Vin), located in Ehnen on the Luxembourg side of the Moselle, illustrates the art of wine-making with exhibits of traditional vintner's tools and bottling equipment together with old documents and photographs. Opened by the State in 1978, it occupies the home of a former vintner with wine-making antiques and furnishings.[1]

The museum

Standing close to the banks of the river, the old house belonged for generations to the prosperous Wellenstein family. The premises also house a cooperage showing how barrels were made, a large old wine press, a smithy and an old weights and measures office. There is also a small vinyard with all the local grape varieties.[2]

Visiting times

The museum is open from April to October every day except Mondays from 9.30 to 11.30 am and from 2 to 5 pm.[3]
