From $750

From $ with a private car and a guide-driver

Winding through over 170 kilometers of vineyards and medieval villages, the Alsace Wine Route showcases more than 1,000 wineries nestled between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine plain.

This region benefits from a dry, sunny climate and diverse terroirs—granite, limestone, marl, and sandstone—ideal for producing expressive, aromatic wines.
Alsace is renowned for its white varieties, especially Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, often crafted as single-varietal wines that reflect the distinct soils and slopes. The route also highlights prestigious Grands Crus and late-harvest styles like Vendanges Tardives and Sélections de Grains Nobles. You will explore charming villages like Riquewihr and Eguisheim or visit majestic castles, taste elegant wines at small family-run wineries and also at some of the best houses such as Dopff au Moulin, Emile Beyer, Trimbach, Marcel Deiss, or Zusslin.
