Strasbourg's winstubs are small, wood-panelled taverns where Alsatian wines and local dishes have been served for generations. For a corporate group, they offer an informal and characterful evening that stands in contrast to a formal gala, and they suit groups who value authenticity and conversation.
We book a winstub for the group, with a set dinner that typically includes choucroute, flammekueche and local desserts, and a tasting of Alsatian wines from several producers. The evening can open with a walk through the old town, passing the canals and half-timbered houses of Petite France, before the group settles in for dinner.
Winstubs are often small, so the group is split across tables or across two taverns where needed.

Good to know
- Winstubs are small and lively; they are not suited to formal speeches or a large seated programme.
- Choucroute and other dishes are generous; vegetarian and dietary requests are checked in advance and some options are limited.
- Strasbourg's old town is pedestrian in parts and cobbled; comfortable shoes are recommended.
- The Christmas market period brings large crowds and higher prices; book early for those dates.
Indicative budget
Indicative, from €110 per person excluding VAT, for a set Alsatian dinner with a wine tasting. The price depends on the winstub, the menu and the wines selected. Transfers are not usually needed, as the old town is walkable.
Frequently asked questions
What is a winstub?
A winstub is a traditional Alsatian wine tavern, usually small, with wood panelling and a simple menu of regional dishes. Strasbourg has many of them, and they remain one of the most authentic places to eat in the city.
Can a winstub be booked for the whole group?
Some winstubs can host a group in a private room or in a reserved area, depending on their size. Where the group is too large for one house, we split it across two taverns and align the menus.
How do guests reach Strasbourg from Paris?
The TGV from Paris Gare de l'Est reaches Strasbourg in about one hour and forty-five minutes. The station is a short walk from the old town and the winstubs.
