This tour is best for wine enthusiasts who want to dive deep into Alsace Grand Cru terroirs rather than sample entry‑level wines. It suits curious, open‑minded travellers who enjoy aromatic whites, late‑harvest wines, and biodynamic producers, and who appreciate taking time to understand soils, grape varieties, and styles in detail. It’s ideal for couples, small groups of friends, or seasoned tasters looking for a private, educational experience that combines top‑level tastings with the charm of Alsace’s wine villages, rather than a fast‑paced sightseeing tour.

We went to three wineries, but Louis Sipp was a standout: a private tasting with the winemaker who was knowledgeable and accommodating, making sure each of us were able to taste wines in our profile, and sharing with us a 1996 Pinot Gris - such a special treat! Thierry gave us restaurant recommendations on our lunch stop, which was very helpful. My only wish was that we had 30-45 more minutes at our lunch stop in Ribeauville to allow for souvenirs and pretzels. Thierry was wonderful with taking pictures for us and answering our many questions about Colmar and the Alsace region.

We had a brilliant day with Jerome and the winemakers we met, the wines of course were extraordinarily delicious but it was Jerome’s knowledge and willingness to engage in a friendly and open way that made the day even more special for us, he is an incredible asset to your company and he should be very proud of the job he does and Ophorus should be equally proud to have him on board.
Well done to all for arranging and running a fantastic and educational tour.
Merci encore et meilleures salutations
