At first sight, the Route du Vin seems just like a postcard : the serried ranks of an army of vines advancing up towards the forests of the Vosges; the ruins of proud castles of the Middle Ages; villages surrounded by venerable ramparts which today serve only to preserve the joyful harmony inside : flower-deced streets, hospitable inns, joyful wine cellars, baroque wrought-iron signs, as well as historic houses, Roman churches and fountains generously bequeathed by the Renaissance.

For all such unforgettable reasons, the Route du Vin merits your visit. However, only a really inquisitive visitor venturing off the beaten tracks unearth all its secrets.

Between one gateway at Thann and the other at Marlenheim, take the time to discover the Route du Vin's true nature : meet the winegrowers, taste their wines, lose yourself in Medieval cities then, far from the crowds, walk the vineyard trails to high up in the vines to admire a panoramic view which, the time for a pause, belongs only to you.

Finally, allow yourself to be astonished, wherever you stop, by the culinary genius which, with the collusion of its wines, has made Alsace one of the most gastronomic regions of France.

Each kilometre of the 170 which make up the Route du Vin invites you to cross an imaginary frontier into a wonderful land where life is considered to be a form of art.
