Alsace Wine Route - Between vineyards, villages, and timeless traditions
For over 70 years, the Alsace Wine Route has been a must for lovers of picturesque landscapes, local traditions, and fine gastronomy. Stretching across 170 km, it winds through charming villages with timber-framed houses, medieval castles, and welcoming wine cellars where passionate winemakers share their craft and offer tastings of Alsace’s prestigious Grand Crus.
From Wissembourg to Thann, this route crosses five officially recognized wine-growing areas, each with its own personality and treasures to discover. Depending on the season, the scenery evolves: blooming vines in spring, lively wine festivals in summer, and golden harvests in autumn.
It’s an unforgettable journey for the senses, whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a curious traveler in search of authenticity. At every turn, breathtaking views and warm encounters await.
Nestled a few kilometers from the Wine Route, Openroc offers an exceptional base to explore Alsace. After a day of vineyard strolls and cellar visits, enjoy a peaceful evening on your terrace, facing the plains, with a glass of Riesling in hand.
