Day trip to the vineyards and wines of Alsace
Take a tour through the vast vineyards of Alsace and taste local wines. Experience the difference in notes and aromas, compare the taste of local products and stop in the most beautiful medieval villages. This day promises to be rich in discovery and gourmandise.
Departing from Strasbourg, the Alsace vineyards and wines day tour takes you to conquer a land of colors and multiple flavors. Following the famous Alsace Wine Route, you will stop in 3 wine destinations to visit their cellars and stop in authentic villages to enjoy the local atmosphere.
-First stop: Mittelbergheim / Barr. Here, Grand Cru lovers will find satisfaction. Zotzenberg, Kastelberg, Wiebelsberg and Kirchberg are famous. Thanks to a soil favorable to the Riesling grape variety, the vineyards produce a prestigious selection of white wines such as Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Sylvaner. This first stop promotes the culture and know-how of the local wineries and is enhanced by a moderate tasting of vintages.
-Second stop: Dambach La Ville. Enjoy the atypical charm of the destination as a second wine tasting is planned in a "cellar" housing the famous Grand Cru Frankstein. During this visit, be introduced to the "Crémant d'Alsace" and feel the effervescence of bubbles.
-Third stop: Ribeauvillé / Riquewihr. Free time for lunch, choose your inn and enjoy a hearty lunch with Alsatian specialties in this charming village. Then visit a famous wine estate of the Trimbach family or the Hugel family and learn the secrets of the exceptional grape varieties: Pinot Gris, Muscat and Gewürztraminer. Taste with moderation, the Geisberg, Kirchberg, Osterberg, Schoenenbourg and Sporen
