When we visited the village of St Hippolyte and had lunch at the restaurant there they served us a…read morelovely Rose wine and I immensely enjoyed it. Upon inquiring where we could buy this lovely wine in our broken French the hostess at the restaurant pointed us across the street and as it turns out the restaurant and winery are owned by the same family. The winery has existed since 1562 according to the sign out the front so I assume that is correct. They make a couple of whites, a rose and a red Pinot noir. I tasted all of the wines they made and most were pretty decent and what was extremely surprising was the prices. At €5 for a Rose and €6 for the Pinot Noir I thought it was a bargain and ended up buying some wine there to bring back. So for €60 we walked away with 12 bottles of wine and it was better than wines I have paid a lot more for in the past. We finally opened the Rose this evening and it reminded me of not only how good this wine was but also that I had not written about this place yet :-)) The really interesting part of this whole experience was the fact that whilst our French was a bit weak we were able to converse with him in German and the whole wine tasting was done in German in a French winery...lol I would happily buy wine from here again and I hope to come back for more Rose in the future. If they have indeed been producing wine for 400 some odd years they must be doing something right :-))

We love wine. We love wineries. Wine-lovers will be very happy with a visit to charming Eguisheim…read more One of the big names is definitely Wolfberger. Red, White, Rosé, sweet wine, liquors, Crèmants. They have it all. The tasting room is a very classy and modern affair. Friendly staff with great knowledge of their products. Even our Bulldog was allowed in the tasting room/shop. Thanks for that. We sampled three glasses each. Three samples a person are free. How cool is that. The Riesling Cuvée des Seigneurs was a real treat. Got one of that, two of their fruity liquors and a bottle of aged sweet wine (a bit more pricey, but goes well with Foie Gras!). And of course some of their Crèmants: The Brut and the Crémant d'Alsace Rosé. Prices here are - for this quality - very fair. A really enjoyable visit.

We asked her again to taste first. After tasting the wine was not really special and next to her pushy and unfriendly behavior we decided not to buy. We thanked her and said we are not going to buy. She was very angry and was shouting that if we don't buy we pay for the tasting. We had no problem with paying for the tasting but her aggressive reaction telling us 'if you don't buy you should pay for the tasting and leave, you own my the tasting and I don't own you anything'. Pretty much there is really something wrong with this lady. I have never been shouted at and treated like this anywhere else before. Just avoid this place and spare your self the humiliation and the frustration. There are plenty of good places in the town.

This place may be small, but it has no shortage of things to try! The lower level is a deli with a…read morewide selection of charcuterie and cheeses, while the upper floor is a small restaurant. The dishes range from €15-20 and wine glasses are ~€5. I hadn't read reviews before coming here (most are on another popular review website) so my selections were a bit off, but on my next visit, I'll have to order their charcuterie and cheese plates with proper wine pairings. They also have a selection of brunch options. I was eyeing one of their omelettes (in a style from Corsica, with an aromatic cheese in it and served with charcuterie and a side salad), but I ended up going with a slice of "Muenster Valley" meat pie, served with lettuce and carrot salads. If I could have eaten two brunches at once, I would have picked these two items, but I was very full from the meat pie, especially after starting out with half of a cheese plate. I'll have to come back to try the omelette later. The meat pie and side salads were delicious and everything tasted fresh. I really loved the way they prepared the side salads - very light, simple dressing to bring out natural flavors (I believe French produce is organic and is rich with natural flavor). The cheese plate (mine was a half portion) was very good and featured four kinds of cheeses: a soft muenster cheese, a very strong British cheese (sorry, I can't recall the name), a truffled gouda, and an earthy goat cheese. I had just gotten off a redeye and would have passed out in the restaurant if I had taken as little as a sip of wine, but if I were to have this cheese plate again, I'd definitely order a glass of wine with it. The service was very good - the staff was very patient with my French and also spoke English fluently.
