Nittel is a place, nestled between dolomite and limestone cliffs, and a nationally recognized resort. Nittel is the center of Elbling wine cultivation in the Upper Moselle. About 25 wineries cultivate vineyards with a total of 717 hectares, of which the Elbling has the largest share with 75%. The limestone soil and almost Mediterranean climate give a nice touch to the local wines, which benefits the white and pinot gris varieties. In Nittel there is a jetty for sailing on the Moselle. Hotels, restaurants and wineries focus on tourists with their wine bars and events.
