10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)

Maison ZEYSSOLFF is one of the rare cellars in Alsace with around twenty century-old oak casks each with a capacity of 10,000L still used for the vinification of its wines. His great curiosity is the ZEYSSOLFF barrel, made in 1897 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris (1900). It is still used today. The immersive experience with projections on lightning bolts and sound work is unique in France. Children are welcome during the visit, it is suitable for everyone. Our domain has been in organic conversion since August 2018.

Inclusions: Wine tasting of the House, 1 Share of Kougelhopf

While I visited Strasbourg for work, I had some days off to spend. I'm really glad I stumbled upon Zeyssolf wine estate after googling wine-related places to visit close by. Gertwiller and Zeyssolf estate are really easily reached from Strasbourg, making it a perfect destination to visit by either a car or train. The hospitality was tremendous, English is spoken really well and the estate itself is esthetically pleasing. The wines are excellent and I was glad to find other products from small producers in the greater area sold there, too. The prices at least off-season in February were extremely affordable; the service I received was well beyond the price I paid. Please, do visit this excellent location off- and on-season! You won't be disappointed!
