A journey to the Heart of the Alsace Wine Route
Discovering the Alsace Wine Route
The Alsace Wine Route is famous for its enchanting landscape and world-renowned wines. Stretching for more than 170 kilometres, it passes through more than 70 wine-producing villages that are often cited as some of the most beautiful in France, such as Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Eguisheim. Each village offers a unique atmosphere and a rich history, marked by half-timbered houses, medieval castles and, of course, vineyards as far as the eye can see.
The Must-See Route
Visitors can explore a host of cellars and estates where passionate winemakers share their love of the terroir and the art of winemaking. Taste wines such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris, and discover the specific characteristics of each grape variety and terroir.
Riquewihr
This village offers an almost fairytale-like setting, perfect for wine tastings in a traditional setting.
Colmar
Often referred to as the wine capital of Alsace, Colmar is an excellent base from which to explore the route, with its museums and cultural attractions.
The Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg
Located just off the road, this restored castle offers spectacular views of the region and is a rewarding cultural stop.
