By staying in Strasbourg for the duration of the trip, travelers enjoy comfort, continuity, and time to settle into the atmosphere of the region. There is no packing and unpacking, no rushed departures—just meaningful days shaped by discovery, flavor, and beautiful landscapes.

• The experience begins with arrival in Strasbourg and a relaxed welcome dinner featuring Alsatian dishes and wines. This sets the tone: warm, social, unhurried.

• The first full day is dedicated to exploring Strasbourg, the cultural heart of Alsace. A guided visit reveals the soaring Strasbourg Cathedral with its intricate astronomical clock, followed by a walk through the fairytale canals and half-timbered houses of Petite France. The group has time to enjoy cafés and river views, with the option to take a scenic boat cruise along the Ill River—a peaceful introduction to the city.

• The next day brings a journey south to Colmar, known for its brightly painted medieval buildings and flower-lined waterways. Here, a guided walking tour reveals the town’s historic charm. The day continues in nearby Eguisheim, a circular wine village surrounded by vineyards. In a family-run domaine, the group enjoys a guided wine tasting, learning about Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and the terroir that shapes them. This day combines beauty, culture, and the warmth of Alsatian hospitality.

• The following day focuses on two of the region’s most picturesque wine villages: Kaysersberg and Riquewihr. Kaysersberg invites slow exploration, castle views, and quiet corners. Riquewihr feels like stepping into a preserved medieval world, surrounded by vineyards that have been tended for centuries. There is time to wander cobblestone streets, visit artisan shops, sip wine, and simply enjoy village life. The pace remains relaxed—no schedules, no destination pressure, just presence.
