Memorable Full-Day Alsace Grands Crus Wine Tour from Colmar
Start Your Day in Colmar
Begin your journey with the convenience of a private pick-up from your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Colmar. Meet your expert English-speaking guide, who will introduce the day’s bespoke itinerary and ensure a smooth and memorable experience.
Travel in Comfort through Alsace’s Vineyards
Settle into your comfortable, private vehicle as you depart Colmar and journey through the enchanting landscapes of the Alsace wine region. Enjoy the picturesque scenery of rolling vineyards and charming villages that define this celebrated wine route.
Discover the Excellence of Alsace Grands Crus Wines
Alsace is celebrated for its Grands Crus—wines produced from exceptional vineyard sites, each with unique geological and climatic properties. The Grands Crus appellation represents the pinnacle of Alsace quality, with strict standards and low yields guaranteeing authentic expression of terroir. Only four grape varieties—Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat (Alsace type)—are permitted for Grands Crus wines.
Exclusive Tastings of Alsace’s Finest Whites
Throughout the day, visit carefully chosen wineries where you’ll sample outstanding Grands Crus whites. Taste mineral-driven Rieslings, elegant Pinot Gris, aromatic Muscats, and full-bodied Gewurztraminers, each illustrating the diverse character of Alsace’s grand terroirs. At each tasting, learn how factors like soil, climate, and grape variety combine to create wines of remarkable purity and depth.
Explore Unique Grands Crus and Sustainable Winemaking
Journey beyond the classics to discover lesser-known Grands Crus, distinguished by unique geological compositions. When possible, you’ll visit wineries practicing organic or biodynamic viticulture, gaining insight into Alsace’s commitment to sustainability and respect for the land.
Savour Late-Harvest Specialties and Rare Wines
Further along the route, enjoy rare opportunities to taste late harvest and “Selection de Grains Nobles” wines—styles renowned for their richness and aromatic complexity. Discover how extended ripening and careful selection transform Gewurztraminer and other varieties into generous, nuanced wines.
Embrace the Region’s Culture and Heritage
In addition to world-class wines, the tour immerses you in the traditions, architecture, and ambiance of beautiful Alsace villages. Your guide will share stories and context, enriching your understanding of both the wines and the region. For guests with broader interests, tours featuring tastings of other Alsace grape varieties (like Pinot Blanc or Pinot Noir) can also be arranged.
Return to Colmar
After a day of exceptional tastings and scenic exploration, you’ll be returned comfortably to your accommodation in Colmar, concluding a memorable journey through the heart of Alsace’s greatest Grands Crus.

Garnet Hayes 14, Apr 2024Thank you so much for giving my group and me the opportunity to experience a wonderful adventure on our trip! We LOVED it, and our guide Jérôme was honestly one of the best tour guides and sommeliers we have ever encountered during our travels ~ he was knowledgeable, responsible, engaging, funny, helpful, and outstanding in every way. He deserves all the best that your company has to offer. A true asset to your team indeed!
With much appreciation,

Dudley Drayson 01, Oct 2023I just wanted to give a little feedback on our private Grand Cru Alsace wine tour this week.
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
