Welcome to Alsace
Welcome to Alsace, one of France’s most distinctive wine regions, renowned for its exceptional aromatic white wines and storybook villages. Your adventure begins with a warm greeting from your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, identifiable by the tour sign and the recognizable Ophorus logo. All our guides wear nominative badges for easy connection at the meeting point in Colmar.
Get Ready to Explore in Comfort
After meeting your guide, you’ll receive a comprehensive overview of the full-day program. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan equipped with an onboard P.A. system, ensuring clear commentary throughout the journey, wherever you are seated.
Discover the Enchanting Alsace Wine Route
Embark on a full-day exploration of the world-famous Alsace Wine Route, a captivating 170-kilometer stretch along the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. Immerse yourself in rolling vineyards, medieval villages, and castle ruins that define this renowned French wine region.
As you travel, your guide explains how Alsace’s unique mix of climate, geology, and relief creates an ideal terroir for producing high-quality wines with strong personality and expression.
Unveil the Secrets of Alsace Wines
Your small-group tour includes several stops in charming wine villages where you will visit local cellars and enjoy guided tastings. Sample a wide range of Alsace wines, including village-level wines and prestigious Grands Crus.
Savor varietals such as Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, and more. At each cellar, personalized commentary by a family member or cellar master helps you understand grape varieties, terroir, food pairings, and centuries-old winemaking traditions.
Villages, Landscapes & Local Culture
Continue your journey with visits to renowned villages such as Riquewihr or nearby wine towns, where you will have free time for exploration and lunch (at your own expense). Wander cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses, flower-decked balconies, and wine shops offering local specialties.
Throughout the day, your guide highlights differences between terroirs, vintages, Grands Crus, and cuvées, making this tour an ideal introduction for both curious beginners and seasoned wine lovers eager to deepen their knowledge of Alsatian white wines.
