The Alsace wine route runs along the foothills of the Vosges, through villages with timber-framed houses and vineyards that produce some of France's most aromatic white wines. Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris are the classic varieties, and the region has its own system of appellations and grand cru sites. The route suits a day out of Strasbourg or Colmar, with a clear mix of heritage, landscape and food.
A private tasting is organised with a winemaking family or a cooperative cellar, depending on the group's size and the estate's availability. Many estates welcome groups by appointment only, and tastings are led by a member of the team who explains the soils, the vinification and the food pairings. The lunch is served in a restaurant or a winstub, the traditional Alsatian wine tavern.
The day suits a sales or leadership team that wants a clear regional story, or a client programme linked to Strasbourg's institutions and business activity. It is an easy format to organise, with transfers from the city by private coach.

- 3A village visit is included, with a short walk through the historic centre.

Good to know
- Many estates only welcome groups by appointment. The tasting is confirmed once the estate has accepted the booking.
- Village streets are narrow and the coach may need to stop at the edge of the centre. The walk is short but can be uneven.
- Drink-driving rules apply strictly. The group should travel by coach, and no participant should drive after a tasting.
- Tasting formats vary between estates. Some offer a seated tasting, others a short walk through the vines.
Indicative budget

Frequently asked questions
Which villages are included in the route?
The route passes through several villages between Strasbourg and Colmar. We choose the village according to the season, the weather and the estate, and confirm the stops before the day.
Can the programme be held in English?
Many estates in the region have English-speaking staff, but this varies. We confirm the language arrangements with the estate when the tasting is booked.
Is the day suitable for a team event in winter?
Yes. The winter months are quieter on the route and suit a tasting and a lunch by the fire. Outdoor walks are shorter, and the programme is adapted to the weather.
