Explore the Enchanting Village of Eguisheim
Your day trip from Colmar commences with a visit to the picturesque town of Eguisheim. Nestled amidst vineyards, this traditional Alsatian village enchants visitors with its narrow, concentric streets adorned with charming half-timbered houses adorned with vibrant flowers. Take a leisurely stroll through the village, soaking in the architectural beauty. Continuing on, you'll pass by the delightful village of Turckheim, where you'll find an abundance of traditional Alsace-style houses adorned with blossoming flowers.
Immerse Yourself in the Splendor of Riquewihr
Next on the itinerary is the breathtaking town of Riquewihr. Enclosed within fortified walls, this village has remarkably withstood the tests of time, preserving its 16th-century splendor and architectural harmony. Wander through its quaint streets and discover the well-preserved old houses that transport you back in time. Enjoy some free time for personal exploration and savor a delightful lunch.
Follow the Captivating Alsace Wine Route and Savor Local Wines
Embark on a captivating journey along the Alsace Wine Route, a scenic itinerary stretching over 170 kilometers between the Rhine Valley and the Vosges mountain range. Traverse the rolling hills adorned with vineyards, pass through charming villages with narrow streets, and marvel at the picturesque houses nestled around the local church steeple. Along the route, you'll encounter medieval castles that add to the region's allure.
During a stop in one of the enchanting villages, indulge in a wine tasting session and acquaint yourself with the renowned Alsace white wines. These varietal wines, including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Sylvaner, have gained fame throughout France for their exceptional quality and distinctive flavors.
Conclude Your Journey at Haut Koenigsbourg Castle
As the day draws to a close, make your way to the magnificent Haut Koenigsbourg Castle. Join your guide for a captivating tour of this majestic fortress, perched atop a hill and overlooking the surrounding valley.
