Experience the Best Wines of the Colmar Wine Region
At first sight, the Alsace Wine Route offers a true picture-postcard image; fresh vines climbing to the forests of the Vosges, ruins of castles dating back to the Middle Ages, villages with old ramparts that only protect the happiness of the flowered lanes, hospitable wine stubs, and lively cellars. But, it also pictures ancient abodes, Romanesque churches or fountains generously left by the Renaissance.

During this small group tour you will cross / visit villages of the Alsace region recommended by your tour guide such as Eguisheim, Pfaffenheim, Rouffach or Turckheim that are considered to be some of the most beautiful of the alsace region.

Wine Tastings in local wine cellars include Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Rieslings, Sylvaner and many more. During the day tour, all tastings are commented by someone of the family or by the cellar master.
