Reviews
Jerome was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about wine, agriculture and Alsace. So pleasant. And a good sense of humor.
Maggie was great, she was a wealth of information and provided some obscure info normally not associated with the Dday invasion itself. The 4 hr tour was perfect for us.
We had a fabulous time on this day trip. Lucas was a wonderful guide, charming, funny , knowledgeable and engaging, it was clear he wanted everyone to have the best time possible and he succeeded ! Finishing the day with the relaxing wine tasting was the perfect way to end a perfect day. Thanks also to the great family( you know who you are 😀) from Sweden who made this such a fun day with lots of laughs. Karen and Graham
Additional information
This tour is best for wine lovers and curious foodies who want to dive deeper into Alsace’s vineyards rather than just skim the surface. It’s ideal for couples, friends or small groups who enjoy relaxed tastings, scenic drives and time to chat with a knowledgeable English‑speaking guide instead of rushing from sight to sight.
Travelers who appreciate picturesque villages, culture and storytelling—even if they’re not wine experts—will love the mix of history, landscapes and cellar visits, while serious enthusiasts can use the day to ask detailed questions and discover new favorite producers.
