From Colmar half-day tour of Alsatian villages and wine

Overview

This half-day format is designed for those who do not have several days to dedicate to Alsace: in just a few hours, you leave with the best of the region—its most beautiful villages, its panoramas, and its emblematic wines—without sacrificing an entire day of your stay. Ideal if you are passing through Colmar or if your time in Alsace is limited. You travel in a small group of 7 people maximum, aboard a luxury air-conditioned van, always close to your English-speaking guide who shares anecdotes and local history throughout the journey. Wine tasting is included in the Award, with no hidden fees. Among the stops, a rare moment: the panoramic view of the Sigolsheim Necropolis, a site rich in history that few towers offer, providing one of the most beautiful views of the Alsatian vineyard. The best of Alsace, without compromising on time.
