Reviews
Fabulously informative day with great guide Orlane. She was so knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Three great wineries visited with the wines being well chosen so that we weren’t replicating the wines we had previously tasted. Very friendly hosts at all 3 wineries. Plenty of time for lunch and a look round in Riquewihr, so nothing felt rushed. We would highly recommend Osphorus to everybody.
We greatly enjoyed our wine tour with Alex. He was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The vineyards were beautiful and learning more about the process was really interesting. I would highly recommend!
Carlos was great! He really knew his wine and the history of the region. He also gave us helpful recommendations for our lunch, as well as dinners in Strasbourg and Colmar. We really enjoyed our tour, tasting some great wines along with seeing some beautiful villages. Our only suggestion would be that the last venue have a place to sit, especially on such a hot day.
