Riquewihr’s wine tours deliver the quintessential Alsatian wine experience without the tourist crowds. The most efficient option runs as a half-day trip from Colmar, hitting the essential stops while avoiding the afternoon rush. For more flexibility, the full-day tour from Strasbourg lets you linger in family-owned wineries and includes stops in storybook villages like Eguisheim and Kaysersberg.
I especially love the Legendary Wine Road Tour – it’s the perfect mix of culture and wine tasting. You’ll walk through medieval Eguisheim, sample wines in a traditional Niedermorschwihr cellar, and enjoy lunch with local vintners. The small group size (8 people max) means real conversations with winemakers, not staged presentations.
Let’s look at our favorite wine tours around Riquewihr.
