Private Alsace Villages & Wine Tour from Strasbourg
A private Alsace adventure, uncovering hidden gems and indulging in world-class wines!
Morning in Strasbourg
Meet your friendly, English-speaking guide at your centrally located Strasbourg hotel. Climb aboard your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off on a scenic journey through the heart of Alsace. As you travel toward the charming town of Colmar, admire rolling vineyards, storybook villages, and distant views of the Black Forest hills across the Rhine.
Colmar’s enchantment
Explore Colmar, often described as one of the most beautiful towns in France. Renowned for its remarkably well-preserved old town, Colmar invites you to wander through picturesque streets lined with colourful half-timbered houses. Marvel at architectural landmarks like the Maison des Têtes (House of Heads) and the Petite Venise (Little Venice) district, where vibrant façades are reflected in the tranquil waters of the Lauch River. Your guide will share stories about Colmar’s rich history and its unique position between French and German cultures.
Free time for exploration
Enjoy some free time in Colmar to savour a delicious lunch (at your own expense) and explore at your own pace. Relax on a café terrace, browse artisan boutiques and wine shops, visit a local market when open, or simply soak up the town’s fairy-tale atmosphere.
Alsace Wine Route delights
In the afternoon, follow the legendary Alsace Wine Route, winding through gentle hills and vine-covered slopes. Stop in one or two authentic wineries nestled in quaint villages for intimate tastings of renowned Alsace white wines. Learn about the grape varietals that define the region, including Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Sylvaner, and discover how terroir and tradition shape their aromas and flavours. Under the guidance of your knowledgeable guide and hosts, you’ll taste a selection of elegant, aromatic wines that showcase the very best of Alsace.
Unforgettable private experience
This private tour includes convenient hotel pickup and drop-off in Strasbourg, flexible timing, and a route that can be tailored to your interests—whether you prefer more time in villages, additional winery stops, or photo breaks in the vineyards. With a passionate local guide by your side, you’ll gain insider insights, personalised recommendations, and an unforgettable day crafted just for you.

Our tour with Thierry to the Villages, including a wine tasting and the visit to Haut Koenigsbourg Castle was fabulous! We could not have had a better guide in Thierry to relay the history of Alsace and show us the main parts of the villages we visited. The tour of Haut Koenigsbourg Castle was amazing --how wonderful to be guided by an expert! We learned so much that day and won’t forget our wonderful experience in Alsace.

Grazie di cuore
