Alsace Wine Route
France, 103km
Running between Colmar and Strasbourg, the Alsace Wine Route in eastern France boasts wonderful scenery and lovely Alsace villages while traversing through a landscape of vineyards and wineries. It provides a fantastic introduction to the French art de vivre with a string of impossibly beautiful ancient villages, castles and outstanding vistas.
Little Venice
Colmar is the most popular city to visit on this Alsace wine trail. The Old Town of Colmar is the city’s main highlight, with half-timbered houses, cobblestone lanes and ‘Little Venice’ along the river Lauch.
Idyllic villages
Take a ride to Eguisheim, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Eguisheim has a unique layout, with concentric circles of streets around the castle. Also nearby is Riquewihr, dubbed ‘The Gem of the Alsace Vineyards’. Riquewihr has more than 40 listed historical monuments, including the Thieves’ Tower.
