ALZACE & JURA

ALSACE is maybe the most beautiful Wine Tourism region in France.
It is regarded as well to be the oldest site to cultivate vineyards in France (since over 3 000 years).
Alsatian villages and their typical houses, surrounded by picturesques Vosges, are customarily covered with flowers and look more like a candy. While the wines (mostly whites), are regarded as the best in the world of their type (Riesling. Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, vendanges tardives, selection grains nobles).
Over the past 50 years, the Alsace Wine Route has contributed to the success of Alsace wines. It has become famous the world over for its exceptional natural beauty, its simple course and for the instant connection its visitors feel with the region and its growers. The Alsace Wine Route winds its way from north to south, for more than 170 kilometres (106 miles) along the eastern foothills of the Vosges. This delightful itinerary leads visitors across rows of undulating, vine-covered hills, and through quaint villages with narrow streets and charming flower-decked houses clustered around the local church steeple.


The villages, surrounded by picturesques Vosges, are always covered with flowers and look like a candy. While the wine (whites only) are regarded as the best in the world of their type (riesling. pinot gris, gewurztraminer, vendanges tardives, selection grains nobles).

Jura, not as popular as Alsace, apart of most beautiful scenery offers its absolute specialities and world's hits like Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille, as well as famous Comté hard cheese.

Traditional song of Alsace winemakers & growers:

Dieu n'a pas voulu,
que le noble se perde,
c'est pourquoi il ne nous donne que la vigne,
mais également la noble soif.
