Festive and authentic, it invites you to step into the cellars of winegrowers for tastings of unmissable grape varieties and to sit down on the flower-filled terrace of a winstub to savour a generous gastronomy.

Looking for spontaneity? You can cycle the Alsace Wine Route, hair in the wind, along the signposted cycle paths that wind through vineyards and villages. The quintessence of Alsace, to be enjoyed at your own pace!

Discovering local know-how

Go back in time to the Middle Ages

With its dozens of fortified castles, Alsace is as fascinating to budding medievalists as it is to lovers of fine stonework. Its castral heritage is so vast and prodigious that it has even given rise to a dedicated itinerary. The 450km Chemin des châteaux forts d'Alsace (Trail of the fortified castles of Alsace ) winds its way through the foothills of the Vosges mountains, taking in no fewer than 80 legendary fortresses, including the famous Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg.

You can explore these castles on your own or on a guided tour, with fun activities such as Hohlandsbourg or Lichtenberg. It's enough to take the whole family back to the time of the valiant knights!

Christmas markets spring up, the streets come alive more than usual, the atmosphere becomes soft and magical and smells of spices and cinnamon. It's the start of the most eagerly awaited festival of the year, to be discovered in over 70 towns and villages in Alsace, with a glass of mulled wine or a bredele in hand. You just can't get enough of it!
