© Chlorophylle - stock.adobe.comA legendary itinerary …
Alsace's iconic wine and tourist itinerary, the Alsace Wine Route stretches over more than 170 km, from Marlenheim to Thann. Winding along the gentle Alsatian hillsides, it boasts magnificent landscapes with vineyards, castles, and traditional villages.
From village to village, get a taste of Alsatian art of living, explore its charming and flowery half-timbered houses, and marvel at the panoramas as you dive into the picture-postcard landscapes of Alsace.
Over the seasons, rediscover new landscapes, from the soft greens of spring to the golden light of autumn.
