Domaine Horcher in Mittelwihr: award-winning grands crus, star crémant rosé, and several accommodations in the heart of the Alsace vineyards.
Behind Mittelwihr town hall, a treasure lies hidden: the Horcher estate. Here, four generations have cultivated the art of good wine and a warm welcome. Here, you don't just taste, you travel. Let yourself be seduced by a gewurztraminer Grand Cru Mandelberg rated 97/100 by Decanter magazine, or by their 100% pinot noir crémant rosé, star of the Bettane & Desseauve Guide. Stay the night? Three cocoons await you among the vines: two apartments (5-7 pers.) and a charming house (8-10 pers.). Online store and wine tasting by appointment.

Lise nous a fait la visite de la cave : à l'écoute, en temps que passionnée, elle a répondu à toutes nos questions avec le sourire !
Thomas nous a accompagné lors d'une dégustation très généreuse des vins de leur maison !
Enfin, le père a bu un verre de vin avec nous lorsque nous sommes partis.
Une famille de passionnés avec un grand coeur et le sourire.
Enfin, ils sont très réactifs en back office en cas de besoin.
Je recommande vivement ce voyage viticole qui est plein de saveurs.

of good Wines and did a beautiful walk in the vineyards. Recommend this very much!
We recently visited this wine-tasting venue, drawn by its positive reviews. The tasting began with a brief tour led by Thomas, who tried his best to explain the wine-making process. However, his English wasn’t very clear, making it hard to understand. Then instead of enjoying the beautiful outdoor vineyard, we were seated indoors in what felt like a reception area.
One of the most concerning moments was an issue with hygiene. While combining two bottles of sparkling wine, Thomas tried to prevent it from foaming over by placing his mouth on the bottle to suck it away????!!!!!
As for the wines, while some might enjoy the sweeter profile, most were too sweet for our taste. The food, unfortunately, didn’t help elevate the experience either. It felt like an afterthought, with mismatched pairings and portions that were quite small. It seemed hastily prepared.
At €25 per person, we left feeling that the experience didn’t offer good value for money. I wouldn’t recommend this venue for the food and wine pairing experience.
