The Alsace Wine Route, France




Located near the Western border of Germany, Alsace wine route stretches over 170 km of vineyards with charming picturesque villages and small towns.





We stopped at Kientzheim to look for some good wine.





Alsace produces many types of wine - sweet fruity wine, dry wine, light wine, dessert wine  ................
 


Wine tasting is fun and the best part is - it is free, but don't forget to buy a bottle or two before leaving. The price range of wine can vary from about 7 euro to more than 50 euro.


We bought a few bottles of Alsace famous wine, made from aromatic grapes - The highly aromatic Gewurztraminer Wine.



It is soooo good and it is sweet with an indescribable fragrance - it is love at first taste.

Crystal clear.

A highly recommended route to travel and don't forget to get a bottle of Alsace famous wine.
