We came to Vins d'Alsace Robert Blanck as part of a Viking Rhein River Cruise excursion…read more Our bus trip from the boat took about 25 mins and our coach was upscale and very modern. We found it be a nice opportunity to see the countryside. The tour was given by the adult daughter of the winery's owner. She was very knowledgeable and warm, while taking time to answering all of our questions. We started off in the wine cellar and ended upstairs tasting several of their wines. Unlike American tours, we sat in small comfortable tables, with both water and pretzels to cleanse our palates. Very cliché and relaxing We came away very impressed, along with a few bottles and some pâté for our trip.

Lovely 16th generation family owned vineyard. This estate makes only white wine and brut blanc…read more (you can't call it "champagne " unless it's from that region of France). We were given a tour of the cellar where we got to see all the old wine barrels and learned about how long the wine takes to make, how the barrels are cleaned and how the vines grew. Also learned how the bubbles are added to make the brut blanc (they use the champagne process) and how the yeast is removed. Very nice tour. The host who gave us the presentation was one of the daughters of the family estate.

What a great winery!…read more I came here as a part of a group tour. I experienced... 1. Great wines. I loved their Rieslings, Gewürztraminer and Muscat the best. 2. Exceptional and gracious service during the wine tasting. 3. Genuine passion. Here you will meet the winemaker who does everything from prune vines to clean the large wooden barrels. Of several visits, this was my favourite. I highly recommend this as a stop on your visit to the Alsace Wine Road.

This is a lovely little shop with local wine, eaux-de-vie, liqueurs, and Alsatian gourmet items…read more The even have souvenir knickknacks. You can taste the local wines and distilled spirits. The service is friendly. We were welcomed in, toured around the store, and then did tasting. The proprietor even offered to keep our purchases until the next day so we would not have to leave them in the car overnight or lug them up to the hotel room. He came home with wonderful jams, wines, and even a handcrafted wood and metal birdhouse.

While on a Viking River Cruise we decided to take the excursion that brought us to this wonderful…read morewinery that was established in 1576. Albert Seltz is the owner/winemaker, 15th generation of the family running the business. It was Albert, the owner/winemaker, who guided us through the tour of the more than 500 year old winery. The cellar is quite dark and dreary, lighting is dim, and the old bottles (who knows how old) of wine that were racked were very intriguing. The tour was great! Very informative and educational. We learned a little bit about winemaking, aging, and how in order for wine to be truly organic it should not be irrigated. Following the tour it was time for tasting. Four varieties were sampled, all whites, and all good. We learned about French wine tasting, specifically the three steps: nose, mouth, finish. Albert was a lot of fun. I recommend visiting if you have the chance.
