Three and Four Days Alsace Wine Tours in a Picture-Perfect Chateau

At a glance

Trip Summary

No trip to Alsace would be complete without dining in a traditional winstub. Meaning “wine lounge,” winstubs epitomise the Alsatian way of life. Winstubs were originally rooms which were open to the public where wine-growers could sell surplus wines. They boast a convivial atmosphere and country-style décor with red-checked table cloths and wooden tables, where diners enjoy carafes of wine accompanied by small, simple dishes. Here, you will have the opportunity to sample regional specialities, such as Sauerkraut, Baeckaoffa and tartes flambées over a leisurely lunch. This is included as part of the package price and the meal is accompanied by a Cremant and a local Riesling.

After a tour and tastings of three wines with local cheeses at a winery in the village, the remainder of the afternoon will be spent enjoying a visit to a third local winery, before your guide takes you back to the Château.

For those opting for the four day break, we will arrange pre-booked and pre-paid transfers to and from Colmar, where you will be taken on a two hour guided tour of the town. Of particular interest are the charming half-timbered houses of the story-book Little Venice and the tanner’s and fishmonger’s quarters. A three course lunch with a sparkling wine aperitif and two glasses of wine will then be served in a fabulous restaurant which is enviably located on the canal. After lunch, enjoy a tasting session of five Alsatian wines in the caveau of a premium local winery.
