wine road
Over the past 50 years, the Alsace Wine Road has contributed
to the success of Alsace wines. It has become famous all over
the world for the exceptional natural beauty of its scenery,
for how easy it is to follow, and for the way it makes the
visitor feel close to the region and its winegrowers.
The Alsace Wine Road winds its way from north to south, for
more than 170 kilometres, along the eastern foothills of the
Vosges. This delightful itinerary runs across a succession
of undulating hills, through pretty villages with narrow streets
of flower-decked, half-timbered houses, clustered around their
church steeple.
Alsace wine road visitors can easily explore the heart of
the vineyards, along numerous vineyard paths leading to the
crest of each slope, where signs explain the work of the winegrower
and the diversity of the grape varieties.
They are welcomed into winstubs and tasting cellars to instantly
discover the traditional appeal of the vine and the wine.
