Alsace Wine Route — Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé

The Alsace Wine Route winds through hills and vineyards between a series of picturesque villages with stone and half-timbered houses. Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé are among the most beautiful — fortified gates, flower-lined alleyways, and views over vineyards and châteaux on the surrounding hillsides. The region is known for its white wines, above all Riesling, and a stroll through the villages and vineyards makes it a relaxed full-day trip from Strasbourg.
