Private Wine Tasting: Alsace Grand Crus in Strasbourg

Five Grand Cru wines in an afternoon, tasted in a quiet room instead of a crowded cellar.

A private wine tasting in central Strasbourg where you sample at least five Grand Cru wines (some ranked among the world's ten best whites) in an elegant 19th-century building. The tasting runs about 90 minutes and includes a charcuterie and cheese platter. A live English-speaking guide leads the session. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

You arrive at a bright, air-conditioned room in a beautiful late 19th-century building in the heart of Strasbourg. The guide walks you through the geology that makes Alsace unique: 300 million years of mountain rise and collapse left soils rich in limestone, marls, schist, sandstone, and volcanic rock. That complexity is why Grand Crus, specific vineyard plots known for centuries, produce such varied, high-quality wines here. You taste at least five of them, each one chosen to show what that terroir difference actually means in the glass.

The tasting is built around the wines themselves, not the tour. You sit in a quiet space with a charcuterie and cheese platter that pairs with what you're drinking, and the guide talks through each wine as you taste it. The room stays cool and comfortable, and there's no rush: the whole session takes about 90 minutes. Because it's private, the pace and the questions are yours.
