THE ALSATIAN WINE ROUTE
One of France's oldest wine routes, it is known worldwide and contributes to the fame of Alsace wines
It is one of the oldest wine routes in France. At the foot of the eastern slope of the Vosges, it stretches from Thann, the southern gateway to the vineyards, to Marlenheim in the north of the region, over more than 170 kilometres. Known throughout the world, it contributes to the fame of Alsace wines. Here the vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir and climate and spreads out on hillsides dominating the plain of Alsace over 67 communes and villages in bloom. Cities such as Colmar, Kayserberg or Riquewihr are particularly worth a visit. But there are also some superb, less well-known, but magnificent little villages such as Niedermorschwihr nestled behind the Brand hill, or Châtenois and its ramparts. Visitors can venture into the heart of the vineyard thanks to several wine trails, but beware: during the grape harvest, access to these trails is regulated. Throughout the year, numerous gastronomic, cultural, craft and wine events are organised in the various localities along the Wine Route, such as the SlowUp or the Scherwiller gourmet walk. Cyclists can discover this route via the parallel course of the Vineyard Cycle Route, which follows old railway lines, sections of the old Roman road and numerous paths through the vineyards. With its 300 wineries and around 50 grands crus, the Alsace Wine Route remains the most attractive in France!
