Set off for an unforgettable day discovering authentic Alsace, with its charming villages, wine-growing traditions, and spirituality. From Strasbourg, take the road through enchanting landscapes that wind through the heart of the vineyards to Obernai, one of the region's gems. This fortified medieval town charms visitors with its remarkable heritage: half-timbered houses, ramparts, a belfry and sculpted fountains form a typically Alsatian backdrop. Stroll through the cobbled streets, soak up the lively atmosphere of the local market, and treat yourself to a gourmet snack or a warm kougelhopf.

Your itinerary continues to Barr, nestled at the foot of the Vosges mountains. Less touristy but just as charming, the town boasts bourgeois and winegrowing architecture. Formerly a centre for coopers and winegrowers, Barr is still a dynamic wine-growing area today. It is here that you will discover the discreet soul of Alsace, a blend of elegance and simplicity. A stop at a traditional wine cellar can be arranged, with tastings of wines from the surrounding terroirs, including the famous Kirchberg.

Then head to Mittelbergheim, listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France.” Clinging to the hillside, this wine-growing village seems frozen in time with its pink sandstone Renaissance houses, peaceful streets, and family estates, some of which have been passed down for several generations. You will meet a passionate winegrower who will share his expertise during a cellar tour followed by a tasting of fine wines, including Zotzenberg, the only Grand Cru Sylvaner in Alsace.

To round off this day rich in discoveries, the excursion takes you to Mont Sainte-Odile, the region's spiritual centre, perched at an altitude of 763 metres. This sanctuary dedicated to Saint Odile, patron saint of Alsace, has attracted pilgrims and visitors for centuries. In addition to its mystical aura, the site offers an exceptional panorama of the Alsace plain, the foothills of the Vosges mountains and, on a clear day, as far as the Black Forest. A stroll on the terrace or along the Mur Païen, an ancient Celtic rampart, adds a touch of serenity and contemplation to end this day of culture, nature, and spirituality.

This tour harmoniously combines heritage, nature, and wine, ideal for those who wish to discover an authentic Alsace that is lively and deeply rooted in its history.
