📍 Destination Overview
Eguisheim, a small town at the foot of the Vosges in Alsace, France, is often called Alsace's most beautiful wine village and one of France's loveliest. Its old town charms with a concentric-circle layout and flower-decked half-timbered houses encircling a medieval castle. On the Alsatian Wine Route, it grows Riesling and Gewürztraminer, ideal for savouring local wine and tarte flambée.
