Full description
Explore three iconic villages of the Alsace Wine Route (Obernai, Mittelbergheim, and either Barr or Andlau, subject to availability) on a half-day small-group tour from Strasbourg.
This half-day tour explores three of the most picturesque villages of the Alsace Wine Route, departing from Strasbourg. The first stop is Obernai, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the region and the birthplace of Sainte Odile, the patron saint of Alsace. Its cobblestone streets are lined with half-timbered houses, and highlights include the 13th-century Six-Bucket Well, the Halle aux Blés and the Chapel Tower.
The next stop is Mittelbergheim, a small wine village set among the vineyards, with a Renaissance town hall, old wine presses and the Grand Cru Zotzenberg vineyards.
The third village visited varies depending on the day and availability, between Barr, with its market square, Baroque architecture and the Musée de la Folie Marco, or Andlau, known for its Abbatial Church of Saints Peter and Paul, home to one of the finest Romanesque friezes in Alsace.
Throughout the tour, an English-speaking guide shares the region's history, from its Roman origins to its Franco-German culture. The tour is carried out in a modern minivan, with enough time to walk around and take photographs at each stop. This is a tour focused on the villages and the scenery of the Wine Route, without wine tastings included.
