We came to Vins d'Alsace Robert Blanck as part of a Viking Rhein River Cruise excursion…read more Our bus trip from the boat took about 25 mins and our coach was upscale and very modern. We found it be a nice opportunity to see the countryside. The tour was given by the adult daughter of the winery's owner. She was very knowledgeable and warm, while taking time to answering all of our questions. We started off in the wine cellar and ended upstairs tasting several of their wines. Unlike American tours, we sat in small comfortable tables, with both water and pretzels to cleanse our palates. Very cliché and relaxing We came away very impressed, along with a few bottles and some pâté for our trip.

Lovely 16th generation family owned vineyard. This estate makes only white wine and brut blanc…read more (you can't call it "champagne " unless it's from that region of France). We were given a tour of the cellar where we got to see all the old wine barrels and learned about how long the wine takes to make, how the barrels are cleaned and how the vines grew. Also learned how the bubbles are added to make the brut blanc (they use the champagne process) and how the yeast is removed. Very nice tour. The host who gave us the presentation was one of the daughters of the family estate.
