When you arrive at the meeting point in Strasbourg, look around. A sign with the name of your tour and the Ophorus logo will stand out in the crowd. The person holding it is your guide. As well as being charming and friendly, he's also your Alsace wine expert. After a few explanations of the itinerary, you're off for a half-day drive through the vineyards of Alsace in a comfortable Mercedes minivan.
The Alsace Wine Route is famous for its magnificent landscapes that offer a real change of scenery. It's the perfect itinerary for nature lovers and bubbly connoisseurs alike. All along the route, you'll hear the guide's commentary through the vehicle's on-board P/A system. Whether you look to the left or to the right, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the view and won over by the elegance of this land of colors.
The half-day itinerary through the vineyards of Alsace will introduce you to 7 different types of Alsatian Grand Cru.
