Three kerbs in Colmar's old town, a few doors that come to you, one estate you reach yourself, and five villages within 14 km. Find your start and your distances here before you book wine tours from Colmar.
A diagram, not a road map: each place is drawn at the coordinates its listing publishes, north at the top, to one scale. Distances are straight lines; the road is always longer.
The three Colmar kerbs
Most shared tours meet at one of three kerbs in the old town, and all three are within a ten-minute walk of each other. 6 Rue Turenne is in Little Venice, 76A Grand Rue is 122 m from it, and the CGR cinema is 919 m north. Put the address into your phone, not the operator's name.
| Kerb | Full address | Who leaves from here | From Rue Turenne |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Rue Turenne | 68000 Colmar, in front of the Winstub Brenner, Little Venice | Both Alsace Safari days: the ICONICS half day at 1:45pm, the Emblematic at 9:00am | — |
| 76A Grand Rue | 68000 Colmar, the Alsace Original Experiences office | Both 4 Wonders days, if you are not collected from your address | 122 m |
| CGR cinema | 1 Place Scheurer-Kestner, 68000 Colmar | The Ophorus days: villages half day 9:00am or 2:00pm, wine half day, full day 9:30am | 919 m |
Arrive ten minutes early. Alsace Safari and
Ophorus both ask for it, and a minivan of eight leaves on time. Start times, minimums and
what the fare covers are in the visitor guide.
Tours that come to your door
Some tours skip the kerb. The 4 Wonders small-group day picks you up at your Colmar hotel or address, and the 4 Wonders private day at your Colmar accommodation, holiday rentals included. Both also accept 76A Grand Rue as a meeting point.
The private three-hour car collects you from any address you give when you book, in the Colmar area. The private day from Basel has 27 pickup points across Basel, Colmar and Breisach, and takes Airbnb addresses too. If you are staying outside the old town, these are the tours that save you the walk.
Getting to Domaine Gueth at Gueberschwihr
Domaine Gueth is the one start that is neither in Colmar nor at your door. It is at 1 Brunnmattweg in Gueberschwihr, 9.5 km south-west of Little Venice as the crow flies, and the listing includes no transport. You make your own way there and back.
By bus from Colmar, get off at the Chapelle stop and walk about eight minutes along the Route de Rouffach. By car, the listing directs you off the D83 at the D1V exit towards Gueberschwihr, then through the village. If you drive, remember that you will be tasting seven wines: bring a driver who is not.
How far the villages are
| To | As the crow flies | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Eguisheim | 5.3 km | The nearest village the tours reach |
| Kientzheim | 8.7 km | The day from Basel stops for an hour |
| Gueberschwihr | 9.5 km | Domaine Gueth; you get there yourself |
| Kaysersberg | 10.1 km | In its own valley, west of the plain |
| Riquewihr | 11.1 km | On the most stop lists |
| Hunawihr | 12.3 km | First stop on both Alsace Safari days |
| Ribeauvillé | 13.6 km | The furthest village the tours reach |
| Haut-Kœnigsbourg | 19.6 km | 26 km by road on the castle's own figure |
| Basel | 59.6 km | The Basel day's pickup city, off the map |
These are straight-line kilometres from the 6 Rue Turenne kerb, computed from the coordinates each listing publishes. They are there to compare one tour with another, not to plan a drive. We print no drive times, because no listing and no official source publishes one.
Know where you are starting?
Now pick the shape of the day: a half day from a kerb, a full day, or a private car from your own door.
Haut-Kœnigsbourg, the furthest point
Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg is the northernmost point on the map, 19.6 km from Little Venice in a straight line and 26 km by road on the castle's own figure. It is 6.4 km beyond Ribeauvillé, which is why the Emblematic takes it after that village.
The Emblematic stops there only if the castle's daily visitor numbers permit. Going alone, you drive or take shuttle line 500 from Sélestat station for €3. Prices and hours are on things to do in Colmar.
From Basel and Breisach
Basel is 59.6 km south-east of Little Venice as the crow flies, off the edge of the map. One tour starts there: the private day from Basel, which also picks up in Colmar and in Breisach, on the German bank of the Rhine. It starts at 9:00am and lasts six hours.
Its stop list gives an hour each in Eguisheim, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Kientzheim. Its overview allows wineries in Alsace or in Baden-Württemberg, so if you want French cellars only, say so when you book. If you are staying in Basel, it saves you the train to Colmar and back.
Map questions
Where do Colmar wine tours leave from?
From three kerbs within 900 m of each other: 6 Rue Turenne in Little Venice, the CGR cinema on Place Scheurer-Kestner, and the 76A Grand Rue office. The private days and the 4 Wonders small group collect you from your own address instead.
Do any tours pick me up at my hotel?
Yes. Both 4 Wonders days pick up at your Colmar hotel or rental, the private three-hour run collects you wherever you say, and the day from Basel picks up in Basel, Colmar or Breisach. The Alsace Safari and Ophorus days meet at a kerb.
How do I get to Domaine Gueth without a car?
Take the bus from Colmar to the Chapelle stop in Gueberschwihr, then walk about eight minutes to 1 Brunnmattweg. The listing includes no transport.
How far is Haut-Kœnigsbourg from Colmar?
19.6 km from Little Venice as the crow flies; the castle's own site gives 26 km by road. Without a car, shuttle line 500 runs from Sélestat station for €3.
Can I do a wine tour from Basel?
Yes. One private day picks up in Basel, Colmar or Breisach: six hours, four villages and family-winery tastings, $341 a head, with a minimum of two.
Where these facts come from
Every kerb, pickup rule, start time and stop comes from the tour's own listing, and so do the coordinates the map and the distances are drawn from. The castle's road distance and the line 500 shuttle are its own figures, from haut-koenigsbourg.fr.
