Then we have free time to samplethe wonderful tastes of Vienna.

NOTE: I was reading in a review that Janet found, that the boat does not dock in the city forVienna. We will be put on a bus and brought to the city. We will have to have lunch there, so ifanyone wants to research a lunch spot, that would be fine. However, there are a lot of outdoorcafes right near St. Stephan's church. We ate at one when we were there in 2013.

We can visit Schonbrunn gardens on our own. Walk to Karlsplatz.. depending on where weare, it's sometimes faster to walk to Karlsplatz and catch the U4 (green) rather than waiting onthe U1 at St. Stephan's and then transferring.

9:30 AM Ophorus - Alscace full day wine tour

This morning depart from Strasbourg for a private full day wine tour in the Alsace vineyards.The Alsace Wine Route winds its way from north to south, for more than 170 kilometers (106miles) along the eastern foothills of the Vosges. It has become famous the world over for itsexceptional natural beauty as it leads visitors across rows of undulating, vine-covered hills,and through quaint villages.

Begin the day with a stop in the Mittelbergheim wine producing region. The area is home tothe Zotzenberg, Kastelberg and Wiebelsberg Grand Crus and the soils found here areparticularly favorable for Riesling. Here,experience your first Alsace wine discovery by tastinga selection of different wines including Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Riesling.

Continue on to Dambach la ville wine area. The village itself is considered to be located at theheart of the Alsace wine region and is home to the Grand Cru Frankstein. Riesling andGewurztraminer are particularly well adapted to the well-drained granite-mica scree whichfilters water and retains heat well. Enjoy a second wine tasting session in a typical “caveau”,the name given to the local wineries.

After some free time for lunch depart for the Ribeauvillé/Riquewihr wine producing area that issurrounded by 5 Grand Crus appellations: Geisberg, Kirchberg, Osterberg, Schoenenbourgand Sporen. If Riesling is without a doubt the king of grapes in this area, Pinot Gris, Muscatand Gewürztraminer are also known to produce excellent wines on the neighboring soils. Herefamous wine growers include the Trimbach family that have been making wine since 1626 orthe Hugel family who only began their activity in 1639!

Not only will you be amazed by the beauty of these two Medieval towns, it is also here that youwill experience our 2 afternoon tasting sessions in some of the most highly selected wineriesso as to complete your Alsace wine tasting experience.
