Superb Experience
I had the opportunity to spend a superb day on the wine route.
Every visit was well organized.
The Schwach estate was a real favorite.
I would also like to underline vinotrip's responsiveness, as the Meyer Krumb estate was not available for the date of my stay, but the vinotrip team was able to replace this visit with a visit to another estate, the Louis Sipp estate. The Domaine Louis Sipp, which I highly recommend if you're visiting Ribeauvillé.
All in all, a great experience, and I hope to be able to do more with vinotrip in the near future.
Oh by the way, the trip included a stop at Flamme&Co for lunch, where I ate some superb Flammekueche, yum.
