Four villages in eight hours

The wine cave, and why you pay there

Here is what the fare does not cover. The day stops at a wine cave on the route, and the tasting there is at your own expense. It is written twice: once in the overview, once in what is excluded. Budget for it, and the counter holds no surprise.

A few reviewers write about the tasting as if it came with the day. The listing is the contract, and it puts the tasting outside your fare. If the cave pours you something on the house, take it as a bonus. The highlights promise that you sample wines such as Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris; that happens at the cave, on your card.

So why book it? Because it is the villages day. You get four of the best-known villages on the Alsace Wine Route, and nobody has to drive. If the tasting must be in the fare, the full day with three tastings is the one; every other day sits on the Alsace wine route tour from Colmar page.

The famous four, one by one

Eguisheim comes first, 5.3 km from central Colmar as the crow flies, with its lanes laid out in rings. Kaysersberg was voted Favourite Village of the French in 2017. Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr complete the four; Riquewihr is walled, with its 13th-century gate tower. The stop list is shorter than the overview, so your guide sets the order and the time in each.

Travellers describe a flexible pace. Margaret B. counted seven passengers and enough free time in every village. Read the villages for yourself before you go on the wine villages page.

Lunch and free time in the third village

Lunch is not in the fare, but there is a stop for it. Chris M. had plenty of free time in the third village to shop, wander and eat. Bring cash or a card, and your water is handled: bottled water is in the fare.

How the four villages fit into a day

1. About 9:00am, your door. The minivan collects you from your hotel or address in Colmar.
2. Eguisheim. The first village, walked with the guide.
3. The wine cave. A stop on the route; you pay for what you taste.
4. Kaysersberg. The 2017 Favourite Village of the French.
5. Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr. The last two, with free time and a lunch stop along the way.
6. Back to Colmar. Eight hours after pickup, dropped where you started.

Who this suits, and who needs the tasting in the fare

What the fare covers, and what it does not

Pickup at your door in Colmar

You are collected from your hotel or the address you give in Colmar, at around 9:00am. The operator's office at 76A Grand Rue is the listed meeting point if you would rather walk, 122 m from the Rue Turenne kerb. If your address is far from the operator's pickup area, the listing asks you to contact them before the day.

Confirmation can take up to 48 hours, so do not leave booking to the night before. One traveller's guide called the evening before to confirm the spot and the time. See every departure point on the map, and the full list of kerbs in the visitor guide.

Know before you go

• Book two or more. A booking needs at least two people; a single seat cannot be booked.
• Confirmation can take 48 hours. Book early rather than the day before.
• Budget for the tasting. You pay at the cave; the fare does not cover it.
• Buy your own lunch. There is a stop for it, usually with free time.
• Children come with an adult. Nobody under 18 is served wine; a stroller is fine.
• Far from the centre? Tell the operator your address when you book.
