Immerse Yourself in Alsace's Rich Tapestry: Villages Tour from Strasbourg

Step into a living postcard as you leave Strasbourg behind and wind south along Alsace's legendary Wine Route. This carefully curated half-day tour takes you through three of the region's most captivating villages — each with its own distinct personality, history and Alsatian soul.

Obernai — A Medieval Gem at the Foot of Mont Sainte-Odile

Your first stop is Obernai, one of Alsace's best-preserved medieval towns and birthplace of the region's patron saint, Sainte Odile. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with colourful half-timbered houses, admire the 13th-century Six-Bucket Well, the Halle aux Blés, and the soaring Chapel Tower. Vibrant, floral and deeply authentic, Obernai offers an ideal introduction to Alsatian life.

Mittelbergheim — The Quintessential Wine Village

Tucked between the vines on a gentle hillside, Mittelbergheim is one of Alsace's most charming villages. Virtually unchanged for centuries, this tight-knit community of winemakers breathes the quiet rhythms of the Wine Route. Admire the Renaissance town hall, the ancient wine presses, and the Grand Cru Zotzenberg vineyards that cascade around the village.

Barr or Andlau — Depending on the Day & Your Guide

Your third village varies by schedule and guide, ensuring each visit remains personal and unhurried:

  • Barr — A lively small town with a bustling market square, Baroque architecture and rich wine-making heritage. Don't miss the Musée de la Folie Marco, housed in a stunning 18th-century mansion surrounded by gardens.
  • Andlau — Steeped in monastic history, Andlau is home to the remarkable Abbatial Church of Saints Peter & Paul, with one of the finest Romanesque friezes in Alsace, and celebrated Grand Cru wines — Kastelberg, Wiebelsberg and Moenchberg.

Throughout the tour, your expert English-speaking driver-guide brings Alsace's layered history to life — from Roman origins and Frankish kings to the region's distinctive Franco-German culture and world-renowned wines. Travel in comfort in a modern minivan, with ample time to wander, photograph and soak it all in.

    Wanda 27, Jun 2025 Charming villages in the Alsace Region. I especially loved Riquewihr, which Beauty and the Beast is based off. The towns were beautiful and they had delicious food and nice shops!

    Cristiano 13, Jun 2025 We visited several places along the Wine Route. It was an 8-hour activity. We left (on time) from Strasbourg toward Colmar, then Eguisheim, Riquewihr, and finally a visit to the Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle. We had time to ourselves for taking pictures, shopping, and exploring in general. We had lunch in Riquewihr. The visit to the castle involves a great deal of climbing stairs. Nevertheless, it is worthy! There is a spectacular view of the valley and mountains.

    Stecy T 26, Jan 2025 It was such an amazing trip and I can truly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn and see more of the Alsace region. The tour guide is knowledgeable, friendly and makes the trip one to remember.

    Traci 31, Aug 2024 I had a wonderful time in this trip. Our tour guide Robin took us to some beautiful towns in Alsace that I'd have never found on my ow. His knowledge of the area was impressive and he had great stories and tips. I travel by myself frequently and Robin did a wonderful job of making our small group feel like a team. I as very impressed with the tour and Robin. I'd highly recommended this to anyone.

    Olga 27, Aug 2024 We had a great time with Thierry. I read up on the history of the region beforehand to better understand the context but it was Thierry's personal stories and experiences that made it more real. He also tried to take the least crowded streets, where possible, to ensure more authentic experience. Recommend!

    Mikaela Apsey 06, Nov 2023 Our trip around Alsace was amazing! Our guide Thierry was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot throughout our day. There was a good mixture of being guided by Thierry and having our own time in the little towns. Would highly recommended visiting these towns!

    Audrey Tey 18, Oct 2023 Took two tours with them (Half day wine tour in Alsace & Authentic Alsatian villages). Both were good and the guides did their best to explain the history and culture of the places we visited and were patient with questions. Would highly recommend this as it’s not the typical group tour experience. It’s kept small and everyone gets to interact with one another

    Cristina Hirsch 02, Jul 2023 What a great excursion. Our tour guide, Jerome, was knowledgeable and so accommodating to our needs. We ended up visiting three very different Alsacan villages. What a great trip from Strasbourg that is literally only an hour from the city itself.

    n/a 18, May 2023 We enjoyed our tour - meeting place and time as noted in the reservation. There were only four of us on the tour, which made it more personal. Our guide was very familiar with the region and made adjustments as needed for traffic and road conditions. He shared history and knowledge with humor and honesty. He had extensive knowledge of wine and winemaking, and stopped to show us a wine cellar. A nice break from walking around cities. Beautiful countryside and amazing historic villages. Highly recommend!

    N/A 27, Jun 2022 A great tour with a very knowledgeable and funny guide, Robin. The small group of 8 people was just the right mix to learn about and taste Alsacian wines, the drive through the area safe and picturesque. I highly recommend it.

    Jackie Hawkeye 08, Oct 2021 We had a wonderful half day tour on the Route de Vin with Florence, our guide. The van is nice, the towns are characteristically Alsace and driving through (and walking a bit) was lovely. The wineries are locally owned, often family-owned, and tucked into the vineyards and towns, it is so interesting and charming! The ones we visited had the classic Alsace grapes, including some Grand Cru options. We enjoyed it thoroughly and highly recommend. We also enjoyed meeting Florence! She was interesting and knowledgeable, as well as fun to be with. Tres bien!
