From Strasbourg: a traditional wine tour to Colmar

Travel along the Alsace Wine Route between picturesque villages and vineyards, discover a chapel nestled in the vineyards, taste wines in century-old cellars, and stroll through Colmar.
Embark on an unforgettable day in the heart of the Alsace vineyards, on one of France's oldest wine routes. From the foothills of the Vosges to the Rhine plain, this private getaway takes you through picture-postcard landscapes, between flower-filled villages, vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see and a heritage steeped in history.

Your first stop is **Ribeauvillé**, a medieval town dominated by the ruins of three castles. As you stroll through its cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses, you will be charmed by the authenticity of this wine-growing village. The market, Renaissance fountains and wrought-iron signs bear witness to the cultural richness of this town marked by the history of the lords of Ribeaupierre.

Continuing along the road, you will make a poignant stop at the **Sigolsheim National Necropolis**, erected in honor of the soldiers who fell during the fighting for the liberation of Alsace in 1944. Located on the heights, this memorial site also offers an exceptional panoramic view of the Kaysersberg vineyards and the Alsace plain.

Not far from there, through the vineyards, you will discover the discreet and moving **Saint-Wendelin Chapel in Ammerschwihr**, standing like a sentinel in the middle of the vineyard. This small building, steeped in spirituality and surrounded by century-old vines, invites you to contemplate. It perfectly illustrates the strong link between the land, faith, and the winemaking traditions of Alsace.

The experience continues with **tastings of Alsace wines in century-old family cellars**. Welcomed by a passionate winemaker, you will discover the secrets of how the great Alsace grape varieties are made: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and more. In the hushed silence of a cellar with walls weathered by time, each glass tells the story of a terroir, a climate, and expertise passed down through several generations.

Finally, you will arrive in **Colmar**, the jewel of Alsace. A visit to the historic center immerses you in a fairy-tale setting: multicolored half-timbered houses, canals lined with geraniums, cobbled streets, and prestigious monuments. The **Petite Venise** district, with its pastel-colored fishermen's houses and romantic reflections on the Lauch River, offers a magical end to the day. Don't miss the Maison Pfister, the former customs house, or the Saint-Martin collegiate church, which bear witness to the city's exceptional heritage. You can take the opportunity to sample local products in restaurants and other establishments... Then return to Strasbourg.
