The Wine Museum is located in a former vintner's house in the picturesque village of Ehnen on the banks of the river Moselle. The museum was opened in 1978 and belongs to the Luxembourg state. The wine making year is shown with pictures and tools, from the winter rest of the vines, through the fight against disease and the harvest, to the final preparation and bottling of the wine. There is also a bottle collection and a look back at the home of the grower, with antiques.
In a neighbouring building is a huge press from 1848, together with a forge (from neighbouring Machtum), the former Ehnen "Weights and Measures" office, and a cooperage. To the rear of the museum is a well ordered vineyard planted with all the different varieties of wine that grow in Luxembourg.
Visits include a taste of the local wine (or grape juice)
