Great trip! A good balance between wine tasting, sightseeing trough the vineyards and beautiful villages. Our guide was well known with the region, wine production and the taste of wine. Also nice that we only visited organic / bio winemakers. This tour is highly recommended if you prefer small scale wineries and love an intimate tour around the Alsace area.

Thomas was a great guide, well informed and easy to understand. He even brought his mother to meet us since he thought we spoke German ( we live in Germany but are basically English speakers) and she was a wealth of information about the Cathedral and Strasbourg in general. We learned a lot in a very short time, and were pleased with the experience. Highly recommend!
