This year, experience the festivities differently at the Maison ZEYSSOLFF estate. To celebrate Christmas in style, the Gertwiller-based winery is offering an « Immersive Christmas Cellar Tour and Tasting ». A warm and welcoming experience combining flavors and discoveries.
As you push open the estate’s doors, you’ll enter an authentic world where the love of the land and the vines take pride of place. Winegrowers since 1778, the ZEYSSOLFF family will share with you their passion that goes back more than two centuries. A 180-degree video projection on barrels will introduce you to their history and philosophy.
Among the century-old oak casks in the Maison’s cellar, the majestic ZEYSSOLFF cask is sure to captivate you. Manufactured in 1897 for the Paris Universal Exhibition, this barrel is still used today to make the famous Pinot Gris ZEYSSOLFF.
This wine immersion tour lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and also includes a convivial tasting session, with on-site catering. It’s an opportunity to taste exceptional food and wine pairings, and to discover the singularities of a winery that has been in organic conversion since 2018.

Maison ZEYSSOLFF
The ZEYSSOLFF family's presence in Alsace dates back to the 15th century. In 1778, Jean-Daniel ZEYSSOLFF, a winegrower in Gertwiller, in the heart of Alsace's vineyards, founded Maison ZEYSSOLFF. Since then, the tradition of vines and wine has been handed down from father to son for ten generations. All the grape varieties of Alsace are offered by Maison ZEYSSOLFF. In 1997, Yvan ZEYSSOLFF took over the family business.
The estate has been in organic conversion since 2018. For the past ten years, Maison ZEYSSOLFF has focused on wine tourism, opening its "Au Péché Vigneron" boutique beneath the family home. The boutique was completely redesigned and adapted to the public and the environment in 2015. In 2020, complete renovation of the tuns cellar, creation of a new vat room and installation of a scenographic area with 180° immersive video.
Maison ZEYSSOLFF also features a dining bar, a tea room, a delicatessen store, a sensory area and numerous wine-tourism activities for young and old alike.
