Your afternoon on the wine route, with the wine already paid for. You meet in Little Venice at 1:45pm, walk two villages, taste at a family winery and are back at the same kerb 3h45 later. Eight seats at most.
You pay nothing at the winery unless you buy a bottle to take home.
One van, one driver-guide, and room for your questions.
You can book it in English, French, German or Spanish.
It leaves at 1:45pm, so you keep the morning for Colmar itself.
Travellers name the guide and the family winery before anything else.
The last hour of your afternoon is spent at a winery on the wine route. Somebody from the family that makes the wine shows you round and pours, on the days travellers describe. The tasting sits inside your fare, so nothing changes hands at the cellar door. You buy a bottle only if you want one.
The listing does not name the estate, and you should not expect a fixed one. One traveller who went in November names the domaine they visited; another counted six wines in the glass. Treat both as what happened on their day, not as a promise for yours. What you can count on is a working cellar and somebody who makes the wine.
What you taste will be mostly white, because most Alsace wine is. Riesling and Gewurztraminer are the names to know before you go. The grapes you will taste are set out for you, with what each is like in the glass.
Comparing short days first? Every afternoon and morning option sits side by side on the half day wine tour from Colmar page, with the tasting marked on each.
Hunawihr comes first, for 30 minutes. It is the smaller of the pair, with its fortified church standing in the vines above the houses. Riquewihr follows, for a full hour. That is the longest stop of the afternoon, with some time of your own. The listing runs the stops in this order; one traveller had the tasting first. As the crow flies, Riquewihr is 11.1 km from your kerb and Hunawihr 12.3 km.
The product's overview also names Eguisheim. Its stop list does not, and neither does its title, which says two villages. Book it for Hunawihr and Riquewihr. If Eguisheim is the village you came for, the 4 Wonders small-group day stops there.
Children from four can come, and this is where you need to be careful. You must book a place for every child and give their age, so the right car seat is fitted. The operator is blunt about it: a child without a seat on the day cannot travel, and there is no refund.
You also cannot eat in the van. Have lunch before you meet, because no food comes with the tasting. One traveller asked for water and a little cheese beside the wine. Bring a bottle of water and you will not miss it.
You have one afternoon and want both the villages and the wine. It suits a first day in Colmar, a couple or a small group of friends, and families with children of four or more. You keep your morning for Little Venice or the Musée Unterlinden.
You want three cellars and a lunch stop: the full day with three tastings leaves at 9:30am. You want the castle as well: the Emblematic day tries for Haut-Kœnigsbourg. You would rather taste twice in four hours: the Ophorus half day pours at two wineries for $114, adults only. You use a wheelchair: Domaine Gueth is the one product here with step-free access.
You meet at 6 Rue Turenne, in front of the Winstub Brenner restaurant, on the edge of Little Venice. Be there ten minutes before 1:45pm. The van leaves on time, and it brings you back to the same spot at the end.
There is no hotel pickup on this one. From the old town you walk it in a few minutes, and the CGR cinema kerb used by other operators is 919 m away, so do not confuse the two. Every kerb is plotted for you on the map, and the visitor guide lists who leaves from where.

ICONICS half day, two villages and a tasting
Hunawihr and Riquewihr first, then a winemaking tour and a tasting at a family estate. The guide knew the villages and the wine equally well, and gave tasting notes and pairings as we went.

ICONICS half day, two villages and a tasting
Four of us had a wonderful time. The guide was funny and knew a great deal, and the tasting was excellent.

★★★★☆
ICONICS half day, two villages and a tasting
Informative and worthwhile, three towns and a winery. They should bring water and a little cheese, especially when the tasting comes first.
