Three day tour Alsace

A short stop or small holiday in the Alsace is a great idea. If you want to get to know everything about Alsace wines and are into some great meals during your stay, come with us. We selected some small, nice and excellent hotels in the middle of the wine area. Included in the package are your breakfasts and a 3-course lunch on the tour day.

As an alternative to the wine tastings, we also offer sightseeing in the region or for example a visit of a cheese factory or the chateau of Haut Koenigsbourg. So if you travel with children or if you are interested in something else then just wine then you are still okay with us. Just tell us what you want!

Back to wine tastings: we also arrange tastings to be held in your hotel, before or during your dinner. In that case we bring you a variety of Alsace wines and we will discuss our findings together with you.

(If you would want to stay in an exclusive semi-private chateau, please ask for our special “Chateau Hattonchatel package.”) Option A: Price range: 70 to 90 Euro per night, based on a double room, including breakfast.

Alsace Wine Tastings near or in the city of Gérardmer

For a wine tasting JoliSoleil offers several possibilities. We can organize a wine tasting in or near

Gérardmer or we can take you on a trip to the wine region. This flyer is about our wine tastings in or

near Gérardmer (88400).

What to expect on a JoliSoleil wine tasting? We always start by discussing wine tasting in general. How to do that? We will give you some hints and teach you some do’s and don’ts. We will then continue with some information on the Alsace region. As the tasting starts you will be handed out a special tasting note paper. So you can write down your findings and discuss them.

- The first wine we drink is a Crémant – a champagne-like wine, which originates from the Alsace.

- Then we continue with some white wines, for example: 2 different Rieslings, a Pinot Gris and a Pinot Blanc. We will discuss our findings.

- Next is a red wine. We will taste some Pinot Noirs, for example 2 from the Alsace and 1 Pinot Noir from the Burgundy region. So we will taste the same grapes and the only difference is in the winemaking, the region and the soil. This is of course very interesting to compare.

All and all we will taste some 6 to 8 wines. This will take some 1 ½ - 2 hours. We always serve some French bread to go with that. Of course we can always discuss different wines, or for example add

some wines avec ‘prestige’, like from the house of Hugel, Trimbach or Zind Humbrecht.

Dining

Food and wine belong together. The right choice of wine can really add to the tastes and flavors of what you are eating and vice versa. And although we do not encourage you to really swallow all the wines, you will still feel better if you also eat something during and especially after the wine-tasting. We can also bring you some local ‘Alsatian’ food, like: Coq au Riesling, Choucroute garnie, Tarte

flambé, Kugelkopf or Baeckofe.
