Ferienweingut Villa Hausmann

Twice each week, guests gather in the evening for wine tastings built around Moselle tapas—a rhythm that turns a villa stay into an immersion in the valley's still, sparkling, red, and white wines. Villa Hausmann produces its own honey from on-site hives, and that same attention to what the land offers shapes the tasting program: regional specialties anchor each pour, connecting the glass to the river terroir that defines the Mosel appellation. Wine weekends bring guided tastings that layer structure onto the evening sessions, walking guests through the spectrum of styles the region yields. The focus remains on what grows and ferments nearby, with pairings that favour seasonal ingredients and the kind of small-batch preserves—homemade jams, local charcuterie—that reflect the villa's commitment to provenance over spectacle. Rooms are designed individually, each prioritizing comfort and the kind of local charm that comes from thoughtful curation rather than theme. Views reach across to the Moselle River, and the garden offers a quiet counterpoint to the tasting schedule, a place to settle with a glass after the formal program ends. The atmosphere stays warm and welcoming without tipping into formality, suiting travellers who want wine access without resort scale. Breakfast draws on homemade jams and produce from the surrounding valley, extending the evening's regional thread into the morning. The villa sits in Ellenz-Poltersdorf, a village that serves as a gateway to the Mosel's steep slate slopes and centuries-old cellars. Cochem, with its hilltop Reichsburg castle and half-timbered Marktplatz, lies a short drive downriver. The vineyard trails above the villa trace the ridgelines that have shaped this wine experience for generations. Guests can explore the steep slate slopes and centuries-old cellars that define the Mosel region, adding depth to their stay at the villa. The villa's location in Ellenz-Poltersdorf offers easy access to these historic and scenic sites, enriching the overall wine and cultural experience.
