The Alsace wine route
If you’re planning to take the Alsace Wine Route, there are many ways to visit this beautiful region. However, there are a few things you won’t want to miss on the Alsace Wine Route:
- The Schoenheitz vineyard is entirely concentrated on the steep slopes of the magnificent Munster valley.
- Colmar, capital of Alsace wines;
- Ribeauvillé and its medieval town ;
- Saint Peter and Paul Abbey;
- Molsheim, home of Ettore Bugatti and his prestigious vehicles;
- the charming town of Obernai, nestled at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile;
- the Tour des Cigognes in Saint-Hippolyte, a village also well known for its red wine.
Throughout this tour of Alsace, you’ll also be able to take part in a host of events, including the Marathon du Vignoble, Slow Up, summer wine festivals and more. On the tasting front, don’t miss the late harvest or the emblematic Munster (a soft, washed-rind, artisanal Alsatian cheese).
