Alsace Wine Trail

General information:

This is an 8 night 1 boot independent walking holiday.

This easy walking holiday will take you through vineyards, ancientoak forest and totally unspoilt gingerbread villages bedecked with flowers. There is the opportunity to visit romantic castles, gothic churches and exquisite Riquewihr.

Walking details:

Gentle walking, mainly through vineyards, woodland and heavily scented pine forests. No particularly challenging sections; however some paths are stony so protective footwear is advised.

Location:

This holiday follows the central part of the renowned Route du Vin (Wine Road), where practically every colourful village has its own vineyard and ruined castle. There are countless opportunities to taste wines along the way. The Alsatian vignerons are so proud of what they produce that they will insist you sample their whole range, while everyone enjoys a good chat. We find them really hospitable and charming.

The villages are spick-and-span and temptingly photogenic. Geraniums spill from window boxes and balconies, and the half-timbered buildings can be plastered in pastel colours, bright blue, apricot or red.

Who would this holiday appeal to?

This holiday will appeal to families with older children, couples & singles.
