Your exploration begins with pickup from your Colmar accommodation. Arrive at a picturesque micro-brewery nestled among the vines, where traditional brewing methods have been perfected since 1998.

In nearby Kaysersberg, discover how modern craft brewers draw inspiration from centuries-old recipes. Break for lunch here, where traditional winstubs (wine rooms) now serve craft beers alongside Alsatian specialties.
Afternoon: Artisanal Excellence
Visit the Welche district's traditional Artisan Brewery, now part of the Eaux de Vie museum. Here, the de Miscault family collaborates with master brewer Joel Tournier to produce organic blonde, amber, and white beers. Learn how spent grain supports local farming in a perfect example of sustainable production. Enjoy a tour and tasting at the brewery, and do not miss the opportunity to explore the nearby Brandy Museum.
Following the brewery visit, your guide will take you to various destinations based on your preferences where you can complete your gastronomic journey with visits to artisanal producers.
