Wine Museum, Ehnen

The Wine Museum in Ehnen illustrates the art of wine-making with exhibits of traditional vintner's tools and bottling equipment together with old documents and photographs. The property was acquired by the state in 1974 and opened as a museum in 1978.^[1] It occupies the home of a former vintner with winemaking antiques and furnishings.^[2] In 2025 the museum is closed for renovation, with no announced reopening date.^[3] After the renovation the museum will be known as the "Wäinhaus - Wine discovery center".^[4]

Standing close to the banks of the river, the 18th-century house belonged to the prosperous Wellenstein family. The premises also house a cooperage showing how barrels were made, a large wine press, a smithy and the former Ehnen office of weights and measures. The museum exhibits demonstrate the process of wine-making from growing the grapes to bottling the wine. Many of the items in the museum have been donated by local vintners.^[5] There is also a small vineyard with all the local grape varieties. As these grapes are grown on government land, the wine made from them is served at official functions such as embassy dinners.^[5]

The museum is open from April through October,^[2] and is one of the main sites of the annual Riesling Open wine festival in September.^[6]
