Eguisheim: Belle village d'Alsace


Eguisheim nestles in the foothills of the Vosges, in the shadow of its landmark Three Castles. Its vineyards have flourished since Roman times, and the town is proud to be known as "the cradle of Alsace wine". The streets, wrapped snail-like around its church, form twin concentric circles of ramparts, lined with colourful timber-framed houses whose roofs rise and fall like an accordion. Eguisheim and the surrounding villages have all maintained their authentic character, notably by enhancing the half-timbered houses and churches with a rich floral decoration that will add colour to your visit⦠Winegrowing is a major activity in our region. Numerous wine growers will give you the opportunity to discover the art of vinification in their picturesque cellars and to taste wines from the 7 Alsace grape varieties⦠and those from our three outstanding Grand Cru vineyards
