From the North to the South of Alsace, from Marlenheim to Thann, this road winds through the wine-growing foothills, linking vineyards and picturesque villages at the foot of the Vosges mountains.

It is primarily driven for its breathtaking scenery: the route wanders through the meticulously laid out vineyards, creating a seemingly endless grid at the foot of the hills, dominated by the impressive Vosges mountains.

It leads from village to village, from century-old towns with cobbled streets, half-timbered houses adorned with geraniums, to winstubs that are full of the region’s gastronomy, to winegrowers on tractors who contribute to the folklore, towns sometimes surrounded by ramparts and protected by proud towers.

Take the time to stop in one of these villages: admire, meet the inhabitants, walk through the narrow streets, look up to admire the wrought iron signs.

In the heart of these villages, you will find our winegrowers: yes! Unlike other French vineyards where all the wine estates or châteaux are located in the middle of the vines, in Alsace, the majority of the winegrowers have chosen to live in the centre of our villages. Why is that? Because in Alsace, the majority of wineries are small family estates, with a limited surface area and the winemaker lives there with his family. Of course, you will find estates in the middle of the vineyards, sometimes even housed in a winery.
