Bremmer Calmont

Bremmer Calmont is a vineyard site between Bremm and Ediger-Eller that rises steeply above the Moselle valley and is defined by dark slate and graywacke rocks. The terrain requires a special structure: narrow terraces built with dry-stone walls run across the slope to make grape cultivation possible on this demanding land.

Wine production on this slope is documented in ancient writings and dates back to classical antiquity. Throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, the site developed into one of the region's most important wine-producing areas.

The name refers to the steep slope and the long-established wine-making tradition that has shaped local life for generations. Today, the terraced vineyards remain a testament to traditional craftsmanship passed down through families working the land.

Access is via designated parking areas near the B49 federal highway, with walking paths leading up to the vineyard slopes. Local information centers provide maps and tips on the best times to visit when conditions are safest for walking the steep terrain.

The slope reaches a gradient that makes this one of Europe's steepest vineyard sites. The specially built dry-stone terraces form a labor-intensive system that works without machines, preserving a rare example of traditional hand methods.
