I came upon this place by accident and I’m very glad I did. I received a very warm welcome and enjoyed an elaborate tasting of some great wines. I left with a case full of wines to enjoy at home. I will definitely return when I’m in the area!

Hugel et Fils

Family winery funded in 1639, we're located in Riquewihr, in the heart of Alsace. Our wines are often referred to as classic and elegant.

Reviewed By le-pecheur-Villepot

We have been lucky enough to attend many tastings around the world, not least the five we enjoyed during our recent visit to Alsace. This one to Hugel was one of the best. A good range of excellent wines was offered and Loic Faure our host was knowledgeable, interesting and happy to speak English or French. Consequently we ended up buying more than we intended. We had made an appointment for our visit which is always to be recommended.

Little Venice

The « little Venice » is the name given to the course of the Lauch in Colmar. This name probably came from the original line of the houses on both sides of the river, which serves the southeast of the city. This district starts behind the Koïfhus, goes through the fishmonger's district and to the bridges Turenne and Saint-Pierre. It is therefore at the beginning of the Krutenau, whose etymology refers to places of market gardening on the outskirts of the towns. Originally inhabited by a rural community of wine-producers, market gardeners and boatmen, the Krutenau stretches out around the Turenne Street that the marshal took in 1674 for his triumphant entry in the city. Boat rides are possible there.

Reviewed By andim122 - York, United Kingdom

This is a key area of Colmar and contains a small river (canal) that runs through it - this was because the market gardeners in the past used to grow their produce outside the city and then brought it in in small boats You can take a small boat and cruise the area and get a different view of the old town houses

Old Town

Colmar is located near Germany and Switzerland, between the Vosges and the Rhine, Strasbourg and Mulhouse. With its 67,000 inhabitants, it retains a 'country town' atmosphere which contributes so much to its charm. The city offers visitors a fascinating insight into 1,000 years of European history through its exceptional heritage. Wonderfully preserved from the ravages of time, its homogenous historical centre is classed as a 'protected area' and has benefited from careful restoration and ongoing improvements for more than 25 years. Colmar is really a condensed version of the Alsace region. Walking in its streets is like visiting à huge movie set with hundreds of century-old half-timbered houses, lovely canals and flourished pedestrian town center. The city has an impressive selection of quality restaurants and shops selling high-quality local products... Not to miss: the romantic and world famous district of 'the Little Venice'. Colmar is also the capital of Alsace wines and is nestled at the foot of the vineyard next to many idyllic villages. The city hosts the annual Wine Fair of Alsace in august, that has gone through six decades. This event gathers approximately 300 000 people during 15 days of music, party and wine tasting. The city with multicolored houses is also the birthplace of sculptor Bartholdi, father of the famous Statue of Liberty in New York and of Hansi, the well known illustrator of Alsace. The culture vultures will complete their visit by one of its 5 museums. We especially suggest to visit the Unterlinden Museum to discover and admire its wonderful Issenheim Altarpiece or the Toy Museum, if you're looking for something to do with your kids.

Before our trip a saw lots of pictures about this town but the reality was even better and nicer. Walking in the narrow streets among the charming multicolour half-timbered houses, I felt like a happy character in a romantic fairy tale. The capital of Alsace is one of the most beautiful place I've ever been. I liked the nice windows with colourful flowers and the illuminated houses on Friday and Saturday. Everybody must visit this town!

Vieille Ville

Reviewed By K5697PTrobinf - Virton, Belgium

In this village, you can find amazing streets, a lot of typical food shops, souvenir shops and a Christmas shoo which is opened the all year (but is quite expensive). There are also several places for the wine tasting and where you can also buy wine. There are a lot of restaurants but most of the time you can't reserve a table /!\ It's quite difficult to park and it's not free most of the time. For a free parking, it's better to go in the bottom of the village. During Christmas time, there is a Christmas market. Around the village, it's full of vineyard.
