General information
Cradled in the heart of the “Good Land,” Luxembourg City is the capital of Luxembourg and the European Community. Numerous castles and fortifications beyond Ettelbruck, Diekirch and the gateway of the Ardennes testify to the area’s rich past. The culture of the Echternach monks and knights, plus unspoiled nature, invite hikers to discover the charms of Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland. Grevenmacher, Wormeldange, Remich and Remerschen are ideal cities to discover wine cellars, small wine museums, or start a boat trip on the Moselle. From the mythical rocks of the Mullerthal, to the industrial and architectural heritage of the “Land of the Red Rocks,” Luxembourg runs deep through history.

Through the Grapevine
Wine has influenced the culture of Europe for centuries. Dating back to 1600 BC, the Romans spread wine grapes throughout Europe and quickly became skilled at classifying grape varieties and colors, observing characteristics, and building fertilization techniques. By the first century AD, wine was being exported from Italy to Spain, Germany, England and France. The world’s oldest operating winery, the Château de Goulaine in France, is still open to visitors today and was a reason the country and its surrounding area quickly dominated the world wine market.
