Departure from Strasbourg & Route des Vins d’Alsace

Your adventure begins as you depart Strasbourg and head into the picturesque landscapes of the Alsace Wine Route. Along the way, you will visit renowned wineries recognized for the quality of their Grands Crus terroirs and the elegance of their wines.

Tasting Grands Crus Varietals

At each stop, enjoy guided tastings of Grands Crus wines such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Learn how soil type, exposure, and microclimate shape the character, structure, and aromatic complexity of these exceptional cuvées.

Discovering Terroir and Traditions

Throughout the day, discover how certain varietals flourish in specific Grands Crus. Riesling often excels in stony, mineral-rich soils, while Gewurztraminer reveals its full aromatic potential in deeper, richer terroirs. Expert winemakers will share their philosophy and methods, highlighting the balance between time-honoured traditions and modern know‑how.

Exploring Sustainable Winemaking

Depending on availability, you may visit estates that follow organic or biodynamic practices, where respect for the environment and the living soils is central to their work. See how these growers are helping preserve Alsace’s landscapes while producing wines of great purity and expression.

Unique Muscat and Late Harvest Wines

In the southern part of the wine route, you may have the chance to taste dry, aromatic Muscat as well as rare late-harvest wines, including “Vendanges Tardives” and “Sélections de Grains Nobles.” These luscious, concentrated wines are celebrated for their intensity, balance, and remarkable ageing potential.

Return to Strasbourg

After your final tasting, sit back and relax on the scenic drive back to Strasbourg, taking in the last views of vine-covered hills and storybook villages. Reflect on a memorable day filled with outstanding wines, beautiful landscapes, and a deeper understanding of Alsace’s Grands Crus heritage.
