Wine Road Tour from Strasbourg

Hi, my husband and I will be staying in Strasbourg for 3 days in September. Is there an organized tour(small group preferred) that will take you down the wine road? Also, does anyone have a hotel or Bed and Breakfast recommendation that cost between $100 and $200 a night?Prefer central location, so that we can just walk around.

I don%26#39;t know of any guided tours - I normally drive around myself - but I%26#39;m sure the hotel you find could help. The below link could be useful to give you ideas

As I live nearby I don%26#39;t use the hotels but the below link looks nice. I stayed in a %26quot;chateauxhotels%26quot; place just before Christmas and it was exceptionally good.

Writer Sue Style (www.suestyle.com) who writes the Alsace wine travel guides, recommends Hotel Cathedrale and Hotel de Rohan both in the middle of Strasbourg, which should just about fall into your budget, though September might be expensive ...





Self-drive is definitely the best way of touring the vineyards if you can rent a car for a day - vineyards near the villages of Obernai, Molsehim and Mittelbergheim are not very far away. It%26#39;s a lovely time to visit - could be harvest if the end of the month.





Sorry, don%26#39;t have details on organized tour, but the Strasbourg tourist office might help. Also you should find the following site about the wine route useful:

Thank you so much for information. We were trying not to rent a car, but may change our mind. We are taking the train from Basel on the 27th after a Viking Rhine River cruise. I will check the hotels you mentioned. Thank you again.

Thank you for your quick response. I will check into the hotel chain you mentioned. We are trying not to rent a car, but may change our minds. We lived in Germany for 4 years, so use to driving in Europe, but we find it expensive with insurance, etc.
