Alsace Travel Guide

For most wine lovers who are already familiar with some of France's wine regions, a first visit to Alsace is unforgettable. On the border with Germany to the east and Switzerland to the south, and in the shadow of the Vosges mountains, this extraordinarily pretty region combines the best of many worlds. Some of the villages could be straight out of a film set yet the key actors, the vignerons, could not be more modest about their fine Rieslings and Gewurztraminers. A trip through Alsace will take you from Strasbourg, through Colmar to Mulhouse, introducing you to the fine foods of the area as well as the best wines, with some wonderful viewpoints and walks along the way.
