Enjoy a full-day wine tour in the Alsace vineyards. The Alsace Wine Route winds its way from north to south, for more than 170 kilometres (106 miles) along the eastern foothills of the Vosges. You'll discover its exceptional natural beauty across rows of undulating, vine-covered hills, and through quaint villages.
You'll begin the day with a stop in the Mittelbergheim / Barr wine-producing regions. Here, experience your first Alsace wine discovery by tasting a selection of different wines including Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Riesling.
You'll then go to the Dambach-la-Ville wine area. The village itself is considered to be located at the heart of the Alsace wine region and the place for the Grand Cru Frankstein. Riesling and Gewurztraminer are particularly well adapted to the well-drained granite-mica scree which filters water and retains heat well. You'll enjoy a second wine-tasting session in a typical “caveau”, the name given to the local wineries.
After some free time for lunch, you'll be driven to the Ribeauvillé/Riquewihr wine-producing area that is surrounded by 5 Grand Crus appellations: Geisberg, Kirchberg, Osterberg, Schoenenbourg and Sporen. You'll experience your afternoon tasting in one of the most highly selected wineries so as to complete your Alsace wine-tasting experience. During the afternoon, you'll also learn about wine & food pairing. The excursion will also include some stops in stunning locations for photography enthusiasts.
