TOUR DESCRIPTION
This tour has it all! Take in the superb vistas from Haut-Koenigsbourg, spend some time in the medieval village of Riquewihr exploring the courtyards and alleyways and end your tour with a wine tasting provided by wine producer Dopff and Irion.
Visit the famous Castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg, impressive fortress of the 12th century offering a splendid view of the plain of Alsace. The Castle was the residence of several eminent proprietors including members of the Habsbourg dynasty and the German emperor Wilhelm II. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the latter began extensive restoration and rebuilding work, bringing it back to its former glory. It is now one of the most visited National Monuments in France. Journey through the Wine Route to Riquewihr, the "Pearl of the vineyard" listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Surrounded by vineyards including the Grand Cru Wines "Schonenbourg" and "Sporen", nestling in a fold of green hills, Riquewihr personifies a symbolic union of the pleasure of fine wines from prestigious vineyards and extremely well preserved architecture.
To end the trip a wine tasting offered by the renowned wine producer Dopff and Irion.
