Program & Itinerary
Black Forest & Baden Wine Route Private Day Tour from Strasbourg
Discover the famous town of Baden‑Baden
In the morning, your English‑speaking driver/guide will pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Strasbourg. After reviewing the day’s itinerary, board your air‑conditioned vehicle, cross the Rhine River, and make your way into southern Germany.
Baden‑Baden, a historic spa town, lies on the western foothills of the Black Forest along the Oos River. In the 19th century it became a fashionable meeting place for European high society, drawn by its thermal baths, elegant hotels, horse races, and the landscaped gardens of the Lichtentaler Allee.
Discover this fascinating town, which still boasts beautifully preserved Belle Époque architecture. Follow your guide on a walking tour through its refined streets and enjoy some free time for personal exploration and lunch.
The Black Forest & Schwarzwaldhochstrasse
In the afternoon, depending on your preferences, your tour will continue toward the Black Forest via the famous Schwarzwaldhochstrasse scenic road. The Black Forest is a wooded mountain range bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south, with its highest peak, the Feldberg, rising to 1,493 metres.
The region takes its name from the dark colour of its dense pine and fir forests. Black Forest gateau and traditional cuckoo clocks both originate here. Once used to transport logs, the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse is now one of Germany’s best‑known scenic routes, celebrated for its panoramic views, forest landscapes, traditional villages, and breathtaking mountain vistas.
The Badische Weinstraße (Baden Wine Route)
Your day can also include a drive along part of the Badische Weinstraße, the Baden wine route. Stretching for about 160 kilometres along the western edge of the Black Forest—from Baden‑Baden in the north to Weil am Rhein in the south, with an additional loop around the Kaiserstuhl and Tuniberg hills—it is one of Germany’s most attractive wine regions.
With around 15,500 hectares of vineyards, Baden is the country’s third‑largest winegrowing area. Both red and white wines of high repute flourish here: Blaue Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) dominates among red wines, while Müller‑Thurgau is a key white variety.
Other grapes are closely tied to specific subregions: Riesling thrives around Ortenau; Gutedel is typical of the Markgräflerland; and Burgunder varieties such as Ruländer (Pinot Gris) and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) are widely cultivated in Breisgau, Kaiserstuhl, and Tuniberg. Depending on time and your interests, your guide can arrange one or more winery visits to sample these local specialities.
Return to Strasbourg
After your exploration of Baden‑Baden, the Black Forest, and the Baden wine route, relax on the drive back to Strasbourg, where your guide will drop you off at your accommodation at the end of this full‑day private tour.

Additional information
This tour is best for travelers who love a mix of elegance, culture and scenery, and want to experience both spa‑town glamour and wild forest landscapes in one relaxed day. It’s ideal for couples and small groups who enjoy guided walking, light storytelling and photo stops more than intense hiking, and who appreciate the comfort of a private minivan and door‑to‑door pickup.
With its balance of Baden‑Baden’s refined charm, gentle exploration in the Black Forest or along the Baden Wine Route, and a flexible pace, it especially suits discerning travelers looking for a calm, upscale escape rather than a rushed checklist tour.
