Exploring Alsace with us is…

  • Strolling through picturesque villages surrounded by vineyards where you can admire the traditional half-timbered houses and their balconies, overflowing with flowers.
  • Recharging one’s batteries in the beautiful natural setting!
  • Marveling at the beauty and diversity of the landscape: its vineyard-covered foothills, its forested mountains and lush plains. Nature is generous in Alsace.
  • Discovering the secrets of an exceptional heritage, between modernity and traditions. Castles, battlefields and churches bear witness to Alsace’s remarkable past.
  • Tasting the best wines of Alsace. The combination of a rich soil and generations of winemaking skills have made Alsace one of the world’s premier wine regions. With 51 Grand Crus and seven types of grapes (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Muscat), Alsatian wines are acclaimed the world over. You will meet renowned local winemakers.
  • Falling for the rich and varied local Alsatian specialties: choucroute (with pork or with fish), baeckoeffe, kougelhopf, flammkueche, gingerbread…

You can also combine your visit to Alsace with an escapade to Baden Baden and the Black Forest in Germany!

  • Its peculiar Mediterranean character makes Baden-Baden one of the most charming German cities, located only 1-hour drive from Strasbourg. A cultural and thermal metropolis, it is also surrounded with the Black Forest mountains. You will enjoy strolling in the beautiful 350-year-old Lichtentaler Allee, and in the city center. You will visit some of the famous Baden-Baden museums: the Frieder Burda Museum, the Brahms Museum, the Fabergé Museum, the Roman bath ruins, etc.
  • At the Caracalla Spa, or at the Roman-Irish bath of Friedrichsbad, why not enjoy hours of relaxation in the wonderful world of the Baden-Baden’s thermal baths! Immerse yourself in the invigorating waters that originate deep beneath the town. Clear your mind, soothe your soul and let your body find its natural balance.
  • At the casino of Baden Baden, one of the world’s most beautiful casinos, dive into a world of old-school gaming with roulette, blackjack, poker and slot machines in the ambience of the Belle Époque.
  • You may also be interested in seeing the famous Schwarzwaldhochstrasse -also called the B500- the famous high altitude panoramic road which offers stunning views, at altitudes of 800 to 1000 meters (2600-3300 feet).

"My adult family of four took a wonderful customized "Best of the Alsace Wine Route" with Benoît in October. It exceeded our expectations. Benoît was professional, punctual and spoke perfect English. He even veganized our gourmet meal and introduced us to the chef! It was exceptional. Our winery tour was so much fun! We enjoyed the owner, her father and of course, the wines. Even my older son, who really doesn't care for wine, loved them. Each charming city was a visual treat. Perfection!"

"Fantastic day trip to see Alsatian villages including village walks, lunch at a bistro owned by a Michelin chef, private wine tastings of incredible detail, including meeting winery owners, and tastings side-by-side Grand Cru selections from different vineyards. We live in California wine country and have never experienced wine tastings of such a high level."

"Benoît Ghestem (Magnific Escapades) is a terrific guide.  He was prompt, courteous and full of knowledge about everything from wine to food and geography to history.  He went out of his way to make the trip work for our family group aged 17 to 92.  He arranged a wine museum to open on a closed day and they hosted a wine tasting for us. He made spontaneous changes in his plans as we came up with a new and sudden interest.  I wish I had time for a second full day."
