Three day wine tour of Alsace
|
Our Alsace wine tour takes you to yet another region of France that produces some of the world's finest wines. If much of the globe has failed to take notice, that is your good fortune, as you will find yourself amazed to discover some of the world's most affordable exquisite wines. This Paris Luxury Tour of Alsace wines takes you to some of the best producers of riesling, pinot blanc and gris, muscat and gewurztraminer wines in Alsace.
We believe the main interest in Alsatian wines is the ensemble of immortal white wines produced primarily in the region near Colmar, and that is where we concentrate our time during this wine tour of Alsace. We will take you from Paris by high speed train to Colmar, where we propose using the unique Maison des Tetes Hotel as your head-quarters.
Your first wine visit  in our wine tour of Alsace will be at the Domain of Marcel Deiss in Bergheim. This domain offers an astonishing variety of superlative wines that leave one grasping for words to describe. You will also have the chance to sample their complantation of several wine varieties on the same parcels, which are vinified together, which opens an entirely new dimension in the universe of wine.
For lunch, you have a kaleidoscope of choices at any of a number of typical Alsatian winstubs (wine bars) or Michelin-starred restaurants in and near Colmar.
In the afternoon of your first day of our Alsatian wine tour , we propose to take you to the inimitable Domaine Weinbach in Kaysersberg. Many of our clients---a group that includes some of the most affluent and passionate oenophiles in the world--- have characterized this vineyard visit as the most enjoyable they have ever experienced. Without a doubt, the three ladies of the Faller family who run the Domaine Weinbach are among the most talented women in the world of wine. Their flair is evident not only in what they produce, but also is manifest in their generous and unforgettable hospitality.
We will then drop you back at your hotel in Colmar, to give you a chance to take in some of local sights and color, which are an integral part of your enjoyment of our tour of Alsace wines. We strongly recommend dinner in some of the establishments in Colmar's La Petite Venise, such as at Le Marechal or Le Trois Poissons, which we will book for you in advance.
On your second day of our Alsace wine tour, when you perhaps wonder if any other vineyard visit could possibly equal your experience the day before, we will take you to near-by Riquewihr, where you will have the unique pleasure of a visit at the legendary Maison Hugel. This is still another of the most enjoyable wine visits we have ever experienced, and we propose that we extend your pleasure across the street from Hugel at the wonderful Michelin-starred Table du Gourmet, who will prepare a lunch that is perfectly matched to a selection of Hugel's nectar.
In the afternoon of your second day of our wine tour of Alsace, we will drive you to the southern end of the heart of Alsatian vineyards to Guebwiller to see the impact of sandstone on wines produced by Schlumberger or Rene Mure at Rouffach.
Let us arrange your dinner on your second day of your tour of Alsatian wines at what some of our clients have described as quite simply the best restaurant in the world: the Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern. We are in no position to verify that claim, but we can certainly confirm that a dinner at this fabled place is one that you will remember with great pleasure long after you have returned from you tour of Alsace wines. It is a veritable temple of culinary arts, quite worthy of its three Michelin stars, and a meal there will marry your exploration of Alsatian wines with cuisine that perfectly matches the wines.
We will spend the third day of your tour of Alsace wines in the Bas Rhin (lower Rhine) department, where you will experience visits at two leaders in the use of biodynamics in Alsatian viticulture, both masters in the art of Alsatian wine: Marc Kreydenweiss at Andlau and Andre Ostertag at Epfig. As this is the last day of your wine tour of Alsace, in between your vineyard visits we suggest you have another extraordinary meal at the Michelin twin starred Fourchettes des Ducs in Obernai. At the end of the afternoon, we will drive into Strasbourg to catch an early evening high speed train back to Paris.
