Alsace is a fairy-tale fusion of half-timbered houses and hilltop castles. Our point-to-point route through the Route des Vins leverages our local insight to ensure you experience the best Rieslings and the quietest bike paths in the Vosges foothills.

Day 1 & 2: Westhalten & the Grand Crus We meet in Strasbourg and transfer to the Citadel of Neuf Brisach, a 17th-century masterpiece of military architecture. Our opening rides loop through the tiny, fortified jewels of the wine road like Soultzmatt and Westhalten.

• Highlight: Cycling through the small roads of the Grand Cru vineyards with the Vosges Mountains as your backdrop.

• Lodging: Château d’Isenbourg (4-Star). A beautiful estate dominating the old town of Rouffach, offering panoramic views and a world-class wellness center.

Day 3 & 4: Eguisheim, Colmar & "Little Venice" We pedal past endless vineyards to reach Eguisheim, the birthplace of Pope Leon IX, and the home of Albert Schweitzer. We continue to Colmar, a town so well-preserved it feels like a 1,000-year-old living museum.

• Highlight: A cooking class with local Chef Raphael to prepare a traditional Alsatian feast.

• Lodging: Hotel La Maison des Têtes (5-Star). A historic monument dating back to 1609, set around a stunning medieval courtyard in the heart of Old Town Colmar.

Day 5 & 6: The Pagan Wall & High Castles From the fortified villages of Bergheim and Dambach-la-Ville, we climb toward the mysterious "Pagan Wall" surrounding the Sainte Odile convent. We balance the beauty of the region with a somber, moving visit to the Le Struthof concentration camp before descending into the medieval center of Obernai.

• Highlight: A visit to the majestic Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle and a final brewery tour and tasting.

• Lodging: Hotel Colombier (4-Star). A highly-regarded hotel in typical Alsatian style located in the medieval heart of Obernai.
