What to know before your tour?

Enjoying wine is a wonderful part of discovering France’s culture and heritage. We encourage guests to savor each tasting responsibly and at their own pace. Please remember that wine contains alcohol, and moderation helps you fully appreciate the flavors, keep a clear head throughout the tour, and make the most of your experience. 

In France, snacks are usually not provided during wine tastings to preserve the purity of the wine's flavor. We recommend having a good breakfast or lunch beforehand.

What is moderation?

    Tamara O 26, Dec 2024 This was an exceptional trip. It was truly enjoyable and worth every penny. I learned a lot and loved going to the little wine houses in the middle of Alsace. All of the tastings were wonderful with transportation.

    Hilery S 08, Dec 2024 Jerome picked the perfect two vineyards for our 4 hour trip. He was so knowledgeable
    about the region, then wines and the winemakers. Each vineyard was different but a perfect
    combination of offering us the different wines in the regions. 10/10

    Stacy Martinelli 06, May 2024 We did a 1/2 day wine tour of the Alsace Region with Myriam. We had an outstanding day! We signed up last minute as our plans changed due to the rain. We met Myriam and Jerome at the Colmar cinema and from there took a van to Eguisheim and did a wine tasting and small village tour and then on to nearby Gueberschwihr for another wine tasting. Myriam was a wealth of knowledge of the local wineries, appellations and farming practices. The tastings were generous and well planned to highlight the different soils and wine making techniques using the same grapes. The winery hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. I think it was really Myriam herself that made this winery tour so educational and friendly. It’s a great half day get away from Colmar so don’t miss out- well worth it.

    Shingo 18, Sep 2023 Jerome, the guide, was fantastic. We enjoyed a lot. One suggestion to the company is that it wound be nicer if you could answer the questions in advance since you had the questioner form.

De ahí en fuera toda la información proporcionada por la guía nos dejó con muchas ganas de volver. Lo disfrutamos mucho!

    Andrea 28, May 2023 An excellent combination of wine tasting and history of the region, our half-day wine tasting tour with Jerome was a highlight of our short break in Colmar and Strasbourg. Two wineries in different villages, one more traditional and the other more modern, we got to learn about the grapes, terroir, climate and wine-making process across the morning. Tasted all the Alsace grape varieties and it was a treat to try wine made from the same grape from two different places. Highly recommend!

    Franky G 06, May 2023 The tour guide/driver Amelie, was fantastic and we got a tremendous tour of two Alsace wineries. She stopped the van very early in the stage and gave us a great overview of the wines, the AOC, the Grand Crus etc. When we went to the wineries she assisted with the tasting overview and had a tremendous depth of knowledge on the varietals tasted. At Egusheim, after we finished our tasting, we dropped in at a bakery and Athen she gave us a commentary on the fountain and the church. Extremely knowledgeable lady, fantastic guide. We had an excellent time.

    Robert Martin 27, Apr 2022 The half-day wine tour was one of the best experiences of my stay in Alsace. An entire afternoon spent with two vignerons alsaciens, sampling a half dozen wines at each, framed by gorgeous drives through vineyards of le Massif des Vosges. Guide Amélie showed herself knowledgeable in viticulture, geology, European history, and architecture, and her carefully curated comments gave context to the whole experience. I only wish I had signed on for the whole day tour.

    Scott F 20, Aug 2021 I cannot recommend this tour enough! We got to tour two wineries, trying 4 different wines at each. We also were taken to one of the most picturesque towns in the region where we were able to explore on our own for about 20 minutes. It was a small group as well which helped it to feel more private. Our guide Miriam was incredibly knowledgeable on the Alsace region, it’s wines, history and was very well spoken. Again, highly recommend either the half or full day tour!

    647daniquek 22, Sep 2020 Great trip! A good balance between wine tasting, sightseeing trough the vineyards and beautiful villages. Our guide was well known with the region, wine production and the taste of wine. Also nice that we only visited organic / bio winemakers. This tour is highly recommended if you prefer small scale wineries and love an intimate tour around the Alsace area.

    Emma_f 04, Sep 2020 Would do it again

    Lovely tour all around! We had a very sociable and knowledge guide. The wineries we visited were top class. At one the vigneron himself came down to talk is through his produce, the region and it’s rich history (geology, geography and climatology). All were able to communicate well in English and really convey their knowledge and passion in a language that isn’t necessarily their first or even second.

    Jessica (Germany) 21, Oct 2019 Wir hatten einen sehr sympathischen Guide, der uns mit seinem gepflegten Kleinbus in zwei Orte gebracht hat, in denen wir jeweils ein Weingut besucht und deren Weine verköstigt haben. An einem der Ziele blieb auch noch Zeit, sich den Ort anzuschauen. Die Tour war auf Englisch und dauerte knapp 4 Stunden. Als Gruppenaktivität im Elsass absolut zu empfehlen!

    washingtontidegirl 28, Jul 2019 A wonderful way to experience Alsatian wines

    We enjoyed a fantastic tour, really getting to experience Alsatian wines at two different yet wonderful settings. The vintners we met were gracious and knowledgeable and delighted in sharing their work with us. Our guide was very well-informed, and she was so hospitable. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have a limited amount of time but want to experience the beauty of these wineries.

    We had a great van tour to two small wineries, tasting at least ten wines at each! Friendly,
    knowledgeable guide and great group of mostly European guests. Highly recommended!

Quick answers

  • How many Alsace wines will I taste during this tour?

    In Alsace, there are 7 different varietal wines, sparkling wines and sweet white wines. The range is therefore quite large and depending on the wineries visited you will wine taste anything from 4 to 7 or more wines per winery. Alsace winery visits are a treat for all white wine lovers!
  • What type of wines are produced in the Alsace region of France?

    Alsace wines are essentially white wines. Here, the main characteristic is that Alsace wines are varietal wines. The grape varieties that are allowed are Riesling, Pinto Blanc, Auxerrois, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir (the only red grape variety), Sylvaner and Muscat. Most wines produced are dry white wines but other wines include Sparkling wines, late harvest wines or sweet wines. Then there are Grands Crus Alsace wines that make up for just 4% of the total production.
  • Are the Winery Tours private in Alsace?

    During our scheduled/shared tours the visits at the wineries are not private and you may find yourself being grouped with others. Groups usually always remain in low numbers. If you are seeking a more exclusive Alsace Wine Tour then do not hesitate to book one of our private tours. We will organise a private visit just for you and your party.

    Please note that on our shared Alsace Half Day and Day Trips from Colmar, Ophorus tours are always conducted in English during the tours or at the wineries. Unlike other providers we refuse to mix languages.
  • Can we choose which village we will visit on a shared Alsace Wine Tour?

    No, unfortunately a scheduled tour is already pre-programmed and the wineries have been (carefully) selected. If you would like to visit some specific wineries while you are staying in Strasbourg or Colmar then do not hesitate to book one of our Alsace Private Wine Tours.
  • Who conducts these Alsace shared wine tours from Colmar?

    We only employ accredited and licensed tour guides that are also the drivers for all tours that need visits to be conducted by certified guides. Good examples are: the visit of museums, guided walking tours in cities, visit of historical monuments and so on.

    In some regions, where wine tours prevail (Bordeaux, Alsace) the tours are conducted by professional local guides, that are experts in Wines. The very large majority of our guides hold at minimum the WSET level 2 in wines.
  • What type of vehicles are used during a day trip from Colmar ?

    Our company uses only Mercedes Vito Tourer 8 seater minivans that are recent, comfortable and fully equipped including individual A/C, shaded windows, large leg space and on board P/A system for commentaries by the guide.
  • What happens if we do not find the meeting point for our Shared Alsace Wine Tour?

    You have to be at the meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to tour departure. If you are having difficulties finding the meeting point you must call us on our office number +33 556 152 609 so that we may help you find the exact area. Please note that tours leave on time and if you are not there at the designated area and indicated time the driver/guide will leave. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more information.
