Maison ZEYSSOLFF is one of the rare cellars in Alsace with around twenty century-old oak casks each with a capacity of 10,000L still used for the vinification of its wines. His great curiosity is the ZEYSSOLFF barrel, made in 1897 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris (1900). It is still used today. The immersive experience with projections on lightning bolts and sound work is unique in France. Children are welcome during the visit, it is suitable for everyone. Our domain has been in organic conversion since August 2018.

While I visited Strasbourg for work, I had some days off to spend. I'm really glad I stumbled upon Zeyssolf wine estate after googling wine-related places to visit close by. Gertwiller and Zeyssolf estate are really easily reached from Strasbourg, making it a perfect destination to visit by either a car or train. The hospitality was tremendous, English is spoken really well and the estate itself is esthetically pleasing. The wines are excellent and I was glad to find other products from small producers in the greater area sold there, too. The prices at least off-season in February were extremely affordable; the service I received was well beyond the price I paid. Please, do visit this excellent location off- and on-season! You won't be disappointed!

We were staying in Strasbourg overnight and wanted a quick and easy way to get to see the city and this was PERFECT! Our guide Quentin was knowledgeable and passionate about his city but also a lot of fun! His English was excellent too! We had the 1 1/2 hour tour, which was perfect for us, as we’d been driving all day from England and were pretty tired but the Segways are very invigorating, so a good choice for us. Highly recommended!

Great trip! A good balance between wine tasting, sightseeing trough the vineyards and beautiful villages. Our guide was well known with the region, wine production and the taste of wine. Also nice that we only visited organic / bio winemakers. This tour is highly recommended if you prefer small scale wineries and love an intimate tour around the Alsace area.
