Deep Dive into Alsace's Wine Heritage

Alsace is unique among French wine regions for its strong Germanic influence, reflected in its wine-making techniques and the predominance of varietal wines. Renowned for its aromatic white wines, Alsace produces varietals that are prized for their floral aromas, crisp acidity, and rich flavors.

The region is famous for wines such as Riesling, known for its balance of acidity and mineral notes; Gewurztraminer, celebrated for its aromatic complexity and spiciness; Pinot Gris, offering rich, full-bodied flavors; and Muscat, Sylvaner, and Pinot Blanc, each adding to the region's diverse wine portfolio.

The tour begins in the Mittelbergheim/Barr area, spotlighting Alsace's Grand Crus and the diversity of its wine offerings. Enjoy tastings that highlight the distinctive terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each bottle.

Moving on to Dambach La Ville, savor celebrated Rieslings and Gewurztraminers, discovering the intricate balance of flavors that Alsace wines are known for. A traditional "caveau" provides the perfect setting for this deep dive into Alsace's wine culture.

After a midday break to enjoy local cuisine (at own expense), the afternoon is dedicated to the Ribeauvillé/Riquewihr area.
