We believe the main interest in Alsatian wines is the ensemble of immortal white wines produced primarily in the region near Colmar, and that is where we concentrate our time during our private Alsace wine tours. We will take you from Paris by high-speed train to Colmar, where we propose staying at the unique Maison des Têtes Hotel. There are other nice options, such as Le Maréchal.

We suggest making your first wine estate visit on our Alsace wine tour at the Domain Marcel Deiss in Bergheim. This establishment offers an astonishing variety of superlative wines that leave one grasping for words to describe. You will also have the chance to sample their complantation of several wine varieties on the same parcels, which are vinified together, opening an entirely new dimension in the French wine world.

For lunch, you have a kaleidoscope of choices at any of a number of typical Alsatian winstubs (wine bars) or Michelin-starred restaurants in and near Colmar.

On your first afternoon, we propose to take you to the inimitable Domaine Weinbach in Kaysersberg. Many of our Alsace wine tour clients, a group that includes some of the most affluent and passionate oenophiles in the world have characterised this wine estate visit as the most enjoyable they have ever experienced. Without a doubt, Catherine Faller, who carries on alone after the death of her mother and sister, is one of the most talented women in the world of wine. Her flair is evident not only in what she produces, but it is also manifest in her generous and unforgettable hospitality.

We will then drop you back at your hotel in Colmar, to give you a chance to take in some of the local sights and color, which are an integral part of your enjoyment of our Alsace wine tours. We strongly recommend dinner in some of the establishments in Colmar’s La Petite Venise, such as at JY’s or Girardin, or L’Atelier du Peintre, which we can book for you in advance.

On your second day of our private Alsace wine tour, when you perhaps wonder if any other vineyard visit could possibly equal your experience of the day before, we will take you to near-by Riquewihr, where you will have the unique pleasure of a visit at the legendary Maison Hugel (since 1639!). This is still another of the most enjoyable wine visits we have ever experienced, and we propose that we extend your pleasure across the street from Hugel at the wonderful Michelin-starred Table du Gourmet, who will prepare a lunch that is perfectly matched to a selection of Hugel’s nectar.

In the afternoon of your second day of our Alsace wine tour, we will drive you to the southern end of the heart of Alsatian vineyards to Guebwiller to see the impact of sandstone on wines produced by Schlumberger or René Mure at Rouffach.

Let us arrange your dinner on the second day of your Alsace wine tour at what some of our clients have described as quite simply the best restaurant in the world: the Auberge de l’Ill in Illhaeusern. We are in no position to verify that claim, but we can certainly confirm that a dinner at this fabled place is one that you will remember with great pleasure long after you have returned from your tour of Alsace wines. It is a veritable temple of culinary arts, quite worthy of its three Michelin stars, and a meal there will marry your exploration of Alsatian wines with cuisine that perfectly matches the wines.
