This shared-tour will take you through the beautiful landscapes of Alsace, taking France’s oldest and most famous wine route in its heart, close to Colmar and Selestat. Tastings at the winegrowers’ estates will give you the opportunity to discover the incredible diversity of the Alsace wines: the 7 single-grape varieties, the different terroirs and of course the personalities of so-called independent winegrowers.

9:30 am: Departure from an agreed meeting point.

10:15 am / 12:00: arrival at the first vineyard. The estate has been in the same family for several generations. Each generation strives to preserve and enhance the work of the previous one. This family and generational dimension is a strong marker in the history of wine making in Alsace. We will taste the wines of the estates and talk to the winemaker about his history, personal philosophy, terroir and winemaking methods.

12:30 pm / 2:00 pm: lunch in a typical village, in a winstub (the “table of friends and wine”, in Alsace) where you will enjoy typical regional dishes!

2:00 pm / 3:30 pm: visit and tasting at our second vineyard. This winery is unique in that it offers both organically grown wines in the purest tradition in Alsace (wines made from our 7 grape varieties) and also wines made with natural methods; those which will “shake up” your taste buds with new aromas and different flavours!

3:45 / 4:45 pm: visit our third vineyard, where you’ll taste 5 or 6 wines that are the pride and joy of the winemaker. To round off the day of discovery and sharing, you may enjoy a walk through the vineyards, on the hillsides, with a beautiful view of the plain of Alsace and the Black Forest a few miles away in Germany (on the opposite side).

5:30 pm / 6:00 pm: return to the starting point.
