Mythos Mosel 2016 | June 10-12, 2016

An advance notice and some background information on a great annual wine tasting event celebrating Mosel Riesling.

We provide some advance notice to what promises to be a superb opportunity to visit and taste wines from many of the top Estates of the Mosel. Should you plan to visit the Mosel region this year, you may want to pencil in the second weekend in June for doing so.

Mythos Mosel | 100 Wine Growers Celebrating Mosel Wine

The Mythos Mosel event is an event held each year in a different stretch of the Mosel. In 2014, it took place in the southern part of the Middle Mosel. In 2015, it was held in the central part of the Middle Mosel. Guess where it will be held in 2016? Indeed, in the northern part of the Middle Mosel, from Ürzig to Pünderich, on June 11-12, 2016 (with a Opening Dinner in the evening of June 10 to start off the festivities).

The Mythos Mosel concept is quite simple:

• Winemakers in the concerned stretch of the Mosel open their cellar doors and offer a representative set of wines to taste from their current range. They “host” guest Estates from other parts of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer.
• A dedicated bus service allows one to move conveniently from one Estate to another.

• Parties are organised in the evening and local restaurants offer special “Mythos Mosel” menus.

In 2016, over 100 winemakers will participate to the event, making it the ideal place to taste wines from well-known growers or to discover new talents.
