I joined a winery tour led by Lucas, and it was the perfect introduction to Alsatian wines. Highly recommend!

We took the half-day D-Day beach and cemetery tour with Pascal. He was an incredible source of knowledge and passionate about the history of the events leading up to and after the Normandy invasion. I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Thierry was great. Funny, personable, snd knowledgeable. What else could you ask for in a guide? We toured 3 local vineyards all with different characteristics and even got to meet some of the winemakers/owners, something that you don’t get to do at most other larger vineyards. We tasted about 6 different wines at each location and although they all come from the Alsace region, none of them tasted the same. Thank you Thierry for a great experience!
