Alsace discovery: wine, gastronomy, heritage and art

Discover the terroir of the southernmost region of the Alsace Wine Route during a day of discovery. In Wattwiller, let yourself be guided through the vineyards of the Vosges foothills, where the murmur of water accompanies your explorations.

A first detour through Wuenheim to the Cave du Vieil Armand, will reveal the secrets of Alsace wine production, the different grape varieties and the importance of the Vosges soil.

For lunch, the mouth-watering exhalations on the way back to Wattwiller invite you to sample traditional dishes at the Auberge du Hirtz.

Once you've had your fill, the Fondation François Schneider will open its doors to you. This contemporary art center is dedicated to the theme of water, and its exhibition will help you unravel the mysteries of Wattwiller's attachment to this element. Its sumptuous gardens punctuate the visit.

Finally, a guide will take you on a guided tour of Wattwiller's suburbs, where you'll discover the many treasures the town has to offer. A melting pot of heritage and nature at the foot of the Vosges mountains, Wattwiller is a sumptuous village at the confluence of the Route des Crètes and the Route des vins d'Alsace. The village is famous for its mineral water, known since Roman times, its vineyards and its church, listed as a historic monument.
