Discover the unique Alsace Wine Route
Follow the Alsace wine route. This famous Wine Route of France proudly winds through Alsace from North to South for more than 170kms. Along the way, it is more than 1000 wine makers that create some of the most aromatic white wines of France. The Wine Route is also lined with Castles, Renaissance Buildings and picture perfect charming villages.
Travel to Barr, Mittlebergheim or Andlau
Your tour continues with the visit of several villages mentioned above. Barr, located close to Obernai, is famous for its surrounding vineyards where local Sylvaner, Riesling and Gewurztraminer are produced. Here, you will certainly notice the fine architecture of the town hall and not miss the Marco Folie, an 18th C. house that has been transformed into a museum. The village also has numerous old shops and multiple cultural buildings.
Mittlebergheim, is yet another quaint village that one can visit while exploring Alsace. Located on the side of a hill and surrounded by vines, the village is composed of numerous wine makers houses and you will surely admire the magnificent Renaissance town hall with its façade made of arches. Here, enjoy some free time for personal discovery.
Finally end the tour with guided walking tour & visit of Andlau. This pretty little town is dotted with old houses but the most important landmark here is the 9th C. Saint Peter – Saint Paul Abbatial Church. Destroyed in 1045 after a fire, rebuilt in the 12th C., only just a few parts remain from those times. Of these, the Church Portal is decorated with beautiful Romanesque Sculptures while a historiated frieze stretches across the facade.

Excellent trip – Lovely area, well selected vineyards and Aude was an excellent guide. Highly recommended and one if the highlights of our trip.
Great wine tasting trip – A tour through beautiful country with a knowledgeable tour leader to visit wineries. Each winery had a range of tastings and a good discourse on the growing of the grape and the wine produced.
Great experience and a lovely guide – With our very nice guide Daniele, a very well mixed group of members and some amazing wines, this trip was totally worth it.
Don’t miss this tour!! – We had a great time on the Alsace wine route tour. Flo was very friendly, warm and entertaining! We all fell in love with the picturesque little villages along the way and of course the wine was spectacular!
Great morning winetasting – We had a great time visiting two wineries in a morning, as well as driving through the Alsace countryside and having some time to explore the small towns. Great guide too.
Wonderful Trip! – Our guide Bridgette and the tour was wonderful and a perfect amount of time (and wine)! We loved seeing little towns and sampling some of Alsace’s finest wines! Memories of a lifetime!
