What an Alsace wine tour from Colmar is

It is a tour that starts in the middle of the southern wine route rather than at its northern end. Colmar sits among the villages people come for, and that changes the shape of the day. You spend less of it in a vehicle and more of it on foot.

A day from Colmar reaches four villages. An afternoon reaches two and a cellar. The open-top bus runs a loop you ride all day. And the vineyard walk takes you to an estate where you spend three hours among the vines, in the cellar and at the table.

Ribeauvillé is the village that most separates a Colmar day from a Strasbourg one. It sits 13 km from Colmar in a straight line, and the 4 Wonders day and the open-top bus both stop there.

Why choose a tour from Colmar

The villages are close

Eguisheim is 11 km from Colmar and Riquewihr 12 km, both in a straight line. So a day from Colmar spends its hours in the lanes.

You can have the castle and the villages in one day

The castle day leaves 2 Avenue de la Marne with the castle ticket in the fare. You get Eguisheim, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, 90 minutes at Haut-Kœnigsbourg and an hour at a winery.

You can go without any guide at all

The open-top bus sells a day ticket from 8:30am to 7:00pm between six villages, with an audio app. You get off where you like.

You can walk in the vineyard itself

The vineyard walk spends an hour among the rows of an estate that works in biodynamics. Then you tour the cellar and taste six wines at the table.

What you get, and what you don't

The afternoon-only half day

The half day from Colmar leaves 6 Rue Turenne, in front of Winstub Brenner, at 1:45pm and returns about 5:30pm. You spend 45 minutes in Hunawihr, an hour in Riquewihr and about an hour in a grower's cellar, tasting at least six wines. Your morning stays free for Colmar itself, or for the Musée Unterlinden. The guide works in English, French, German and Spanish.

The open-top bus is a bus, not a wine tour

The KUT'ZIG bus lists "Winery tours and tastings" among its exclusions, and it means it. You buy a ticket, ride between Colmar, Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, Turckheim and Eguisheim, and choose your own cellar in each. It runs from Friday 3 April to Sunday 11 October 2026, and not every day inside that season. For the self-guided version of a wine day, read our guide to the wine route without a tour.

The castle and three villages from Colmar

Eguisheim, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr for lunch, then Haut-Kœnigsbourg with your ticket paid and an hour at a winery.

Who should choose something else

Frequently asked questions

Is Colmar a better base than Strasbourg for the wine route?
For the southern villages, yes. Colmar sits among them, so a day from Colmar reaches four villages where the shared half day from Strasbourg reaches two towns. Strasbourg has more departures and the two long village days.
Can I do a tour from Colmar without a car?
Yes, on every one except the vineyard walk, which starts at an estate outside town. The 4 Wonders day even collects you at a point you choose in Colmar.
Does anything run from Colmar in winter?
The open-top bus does not: its 2026 season ends on Sunday 11 October and began on Friday 3 April. The van days and the walks publish no season, so check your date when you book.
Where do tours leave from in Colmar?
There are two fixed kerbs: 2 Avenue de la Marne, in front of the Hôtel L'Esquisse, and 6 Rue Turenne, in front of Winstub Brenner, at 1:45pm. The 4 Wonders day instead collects you at a point you choose in town.
Is the open-top bus a wine tour?
No. Its own exclusions list winery tours and tastings, and one traveller wrote that if you are thinking it is a wine tour, it is not. It is transport between six wine-route villages, which is a different and useful thing.
How much is Haut-Kœnigsbourg on its own?
€12 for an adult self-guided visit, €16 with the audio tour, €8 for 6-17s and €30 for a family of up to four. Under-6s go free, and entry is free on the first Sunday of each month from November to March.
