Private Wine Tour Colmar: 2 Alsatian Wineries & Eguisheim Village

Taste Alsatian wines where they're grown, guided by someone who knows them

A private wine tour from Colmar visits two independent family wineries in Alsace (Domaine Roth in Soultz and Domaine du Bollenberg) with an expert sommelier guide who leads tastings of about 12 wines across the day. The itinerary includes a walk through Eguisheim, one of France's most beautiful villages, with time to explore its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. The tour runs 8.5 hours with an air-conditioned vehicle and hotel pickup. Lunch in the village is your choice.

The experience

How do you actually get to know Alsatian wine without spending days driving between vineyards? This tour picks you up from your hotel in Colmar and moves at a pace that lets the day unfold: no rushing between stops, no generic winery script. Your guide is a sommelier, which means the tastings aren't just pouring. They're stories about the soil, the vintage, the family's choices. You'll taste at Domaine Roth first, a third and fourth-generation operation in Soultz that's been on the same sandstone and limestone hillsides since the 1940s. They work organically and age their wines long, so what you're tasting isn't a quick sample. It's the kind of wine that travels.

The second stop is Domaine du Bollenberg, a family-run estate and restaurant that's been combining ecological farming with traditional methods since 1947. By then you've already tasted several wines and heard how they're made. Here you taste more and sit in the restaurant if you want. Lunch isn't included in the tour price, but the village and the domaine both have options, so you eat when and what you choose. About 12 wines across the whole day means you're tasting seriously, not collecting stamps.

Between the wineries, you stop in Eguisheim, the village the French voted their favorite a few years back. It's circular (the streets loop around a medieval castle), and lined with half-timbered houses so covered in flowers they look like they're blooming out of the cobblestones. You walk it, not drive through it. The sommelier knows the place and can point out what matters, but the time is yours: some people sit in a square with a glass, some photograph the houses, some find a small shop. It's the kind of village where an hour feels like enough and three hours wouldn't be too much.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French and German.

What's the difference between the two wineries on this tour?

Domaine Roth in Soultz is a multi-generational family operation focused on organic, age-worthy wines from protected hillside vineyards. Domaine du Bollenberg combines ecological agriculture with a restaurant on-site, so you can taste and eat in the same place. Both are independent, family-run estates, not commercial tasting rooms.

How many wines will I actually taste during the day?

About 12 wines across the two wineries and the full 8.5-hour tour. The tastings are led by your sommelier guide, so each one comes with context about the vineyard, the vintage and the winemaker's choices.

Is lunch included, and where do I eat?

Lunch is not included in the tour price, but both Eguisheim village and Domaine du Bollenberg have restaurant options. You choose where and when to eat, and your guide can recommend places based on what you're in the mood for.

What is Eguisheim, and how much time do I spend there?

Eguisheim is a medieval village in the heart of Alsace's vineyards, famous for its circular cobbled streets, half-timbered houses covered in flowers, and a castle at its center. It was voted France's favorite village a few years ago. You'll have time to walk it and explore at your own pace between the two wineries.

Do I need to arrange my own transportation to the tour, or is pickup included?

Hotel pickup from Colmar is included in the tour. Your sommelier guide arrives in an air-conditioned vehicle and returns you to your hotel at the end of the day, so you don't need a car or public transport.
