Dive into the heart of local delights by meeting our precious artisans!
Welcome to the farm
Reconnect with nature and the land during a getaway to a farm in Alsace! Visit a farm committed to the “Welcome to the Farm” network for a friendly and playful moment around the flavors and know-how of the men and women who cultivate the taste of hospitality and sharing. It’s also an opportunity to treat your taste buds to delicious and authentic products. Vegetables, fruits, cheeses and dairy products, meats, or even honey and jams: rediscover the good taste of farm products. Freshness, quality, origin, and traceability are, of course, guaranteed.
For small or rather big appetites, choose a delicious meal at the farm-inn. Enjoy hearty, rustic, generous, and authentic mountain dishes, carefully prepared with products from the farm.
Sharing with the winemakers
To uncover the secrets of Alsatian wines, one must take their time, enter the winemakers’ courtyard, meet them, and listen as they share the poetry of their terroir. Alsatian winemakers are all eager to offer you the best welcome and generously share their passion for wine. Many estates and wineries are open for discovering Alsatian wines by offering unique spaces, fun activities, and delicious tastings.
Fizz with the brewers
Delicious and refreshing, beer is the emblematic drink of Alsace! As the leading brewing territory in France with 60% of national production, taste a wide variety of beers, from the most traditional to the most original! Authentic, it is the expression of the know-how of master brewers, whose production secrets you can discover during a visit to an artisan brewery or at Villa Météor during a unique immersion through the history of the oldest active brewery in France.
Indulgence with the jam makers
Alsace is a land rich in orchards: wild roses, mirabelles, cherry trees, plum trees, and quince trees, this generous nature enriched by the know-how of local artisans, offers delicious delicacies. Some magicians transform these fruits into delicious jams, to be enjoyed on bread or in famous Alsatian desserts. Head to Niedermorschwihr to taste the jams of Christine Ferber, whose fame extends beyond borders. Whether you are a fine connoisseur or a great foodie, discover the art of production. Many of these producers open the doors to their workshops, to practice their craft before your amazed eyes, like at Confitures du Climont and its Jam Museum Bus.
Prestige with the distillers
The art of distillation is an ancestral tradition in Alsace. Distilling artisans express all their know-how and production secrets in prestigious eaux-de-vie with strong and intense aromas! Of course, there is the mirabelle, cherry, pear, or plum, but Alsatian distilleries offer many other tasting treasures like cacao, almond, apricot, or lemon balm eaux-de-vie. Uncover their production secrets during a visit to the distilleries and a getaway in the Vallée de Villé, the historical cradle of eaux-de-vie in Alsace.
Authenticity with the cheesemakers
Alsace is notably known for its famous Munster cheese. Protected designation of origin, it is made in several valleys of the Vosges mountains. At the entrance to the Vallée de Munster, discover its production secrets at the Cheese House. From milking the cows to the dairy, demonstrations of production to tastings, awaken your senses in this unique place, which is imbued with the aromas of milk and meadows.
Bargkas, Ribeaupierre, tomme du Ried and other mountain cheeses complete the array of Alsatian cheeses. The particular flora of the mountains, high pastures, or the meadows of Ried gives the cheese a unique flavor. Enjoy a tasting to pair them with an Alsatian wine.
