Domaine Alice Hartmann

Located in Wormeldange along Luxembourg’s Moselle River, Domaine Alice Hartmann is one of the Grand Duchy’s most prestigious wine estates. Known for its elite Rieslings, Pinot Noirs, and award-winning Crémants. They are a Fournisseur de la Cour grand-ducale, Official Supplier to the Luxembourg Royal Court, a designation they have held since 2011.

Their subterranean vaulted cellars date back to the late 1790s, with the main historic manor house built in 1824. The property was gifted to Alice Hartmann and her husband as a wedding present in the 1920s. Tragically, her husband died in a car accident in 1937. Breaking strict inheritance norms, Alice took the helm during an era when women rarely held such roles, famously replanting the vineyards to Riesling that same year. She successfully kept the estate operating through WWII.

Under the Wesner family’s stewardship since 1996, the estate has pioneered several new practices in Luxembourg. They were the first in the region to plant Chardonnay and to embrace Burgundy-style oak barrels.
