The geology of the Grands Crus terroirs of the Kaysersberg valley

By reservation at "Office de Tourisme de la Vallée de Kaysersberg"

Phillipe Blanck will take you to the vineyards overlooking the historic village of Kientzheim, a couple of kilometers from the historic market town of Kaysersberg, in the very heart of the Alsatian vineyard. There you will share a special moment as Philippe will talk you through the specificities of the local vineyards, revealing the secrets behind the beautiful landscape before you. Created over millions of years, the area is a perfect example of the best Alsace has to offer and how terroirs come into being, modelled by the elements and the hand of man over millennia. You will leave with a first-hand understanding of how Grand Crus come to be, how the soils influence their character, the aromas and taste of wines thanks to a comparative tasting of several of these majestic wines.
