Of all the regions of France, Alsace has long been celebrated as one of the most delicious.

The careful attention that Alsatians pay to their table is legendary.

The secret of Alsatian gastronomy? Simply beautiful products, long-simmered dishes, simple and true flavors, the taste of good things, and of course the wines of Alsace, which infuse Alsatian cuisine with vitality, spirit and good humor. We can even suspect them of being the inspirers ...

Whether they are part of the recipe or they accompany it, Alsace wines play and replay these beautiful accords which mysteriously unite the jewels of the same terroir.

What secret alchemy links trout or pike-perch to Riesling? Foie gras with Tokay Pinot Gris, Munster with Gewurztraminer? Is it the climate, the land, the people, the atmosphere of the place?

In any case, this is a great topic of conversation between guests! And if the debate is not settled, the fun will always be there.

The Wine Route

From the South Gate in Thann to the North Gate in Marlenheim, the Alsace Wine Route takes place over 170 kilometers through a rich mosaic of picturesque landscapes at the foot of the slopes bristling with old towers and castles in ruins or in hollows. deep valleys, linking villages and small towns with prestigious names: Andlau, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, Eguisheim, Bergheim, Westhalten, Wettolsheim… ..

Take the time to penetrate the soul of the Route: meet the winegrowers, taste their wines, get lost in the medieval towns then, far from the multitude, walk the wine trails and admire, in the high-perched vineyards, the panorama which will be yours alone for a break.

Discover the impeccable vines, a peaceful army climbing to the assault of the Vosges forests, the ruins of the proud castles of the Middle Ages, the villages surrounded by these old ramparts which now protect only the perfect happiness of the flowery alleys, welcoming winstubs, cellars in celebration, baroque signs or centuries-old houses, Romanesque churches or wells generously bequeathed by the Renaissance.

Finally, let yourself be amazed, at each step, by a culinary genius who makes Alsace, with the complicity of its wines, one of the most gourmet regions in France.

For all these unforgettable images, the Wine Route deserves your visit. But it is only to the curious traveler, leaving the beaten track, that she will reveal her most secret detours.
