What a private Alsace wine tour is

A private tour puts your party alone with the guide. Nobody else joins, nobody waits for a stranger at a stop, and the pace is yours. On this route that means one of two things, at opposite ends of the scale.

The first is a whole day. A driver collects you where you stay in Strasbourg and drives you for eight to nine hours in a Tesla with wifi. The usual stops are the castle, Riquewihr, Eguisheim and Colmar's Little Venice, and you can change them.

The second is ninety minutes in Strasbourg. You meet at the Palais Rohan gates and a guide pours at least six wines, dry, off-dry and sweet, in the town's wine bars. There is no vehicle and no vineyard.

Why choose a private tour

You set the plan

The Tesla day's listing calls it fully customisable. Tell the driver what you want to see and taste, and the day is built around it.

You are collected at your door

It is the only day here that picks you up where you stay. Every shared day meets at a kerb.

Four of you pay one fare

At $878 for up to four, the Tesla day works out at $219 a head when the car is full.

The castle and the wine are paid

Entry to Haut-Kœnigsbourg is in the fare, and so are the alcoholic drinks. You pay for lunch and tips.

Private vs shared: per group or per head

The private tours here are priced in different ways, and this table is the whole argument.

With four people, the private day costs $105 more than four seats on the shared full day, and adds the castle. With two, it costs more than twice as much, and you pay for the plan and the privacy.

Who should choose something else

Frequently asked questions

Is a private Alsace wine tour priced per person or per group?
The Tesla day is one fare, $878, for up to four people. The private tasting in Strasbourg is $146 a person, so a couple pays twice that.
Can we choose where a private tour goes?
On the Tesla day, yes: the listing calls it fully customisable, and the usual stops are the castle, Riquewihr, Eguisheim and Colmar's Little Venice. The private tasting stays in central Strasbourg.
Is a private tour worth it for two people?
On the Tesla day, two of you pay the same fare as four. The shared full day costs $193 a head, so a private day for two is a choice for the plan, not the price.
Is a private tour suitable for a wheelchair user?
The Tesla day lists its transport as wheelchair accessible, and it takes strollers and infant seats. Ask the driver about each stop before you book, because village lanes are cobbled.
Do any tours pick up at my hotel?
One does as standard: the private Tesla day. The 4 Wonders day collects you at a point you choose in Colmar. Everything else meets at a fixed kerb, and several listings put hotel pick-up in their exclusions.
Is entry to Haut-Kœnigsbourg included?
On the castle day from Colmar, the Ophorus Colmar day from Strasbourg and the private Tesla day, yes. On every other tour that passes it, it is not. Paid separately the adult ticket is €12, or €16 with the audio tour.
