Top Things To Do
Segway rides in Eguisheim
Take a trip back in time to Eguisheim, the quintessential Alsatian village. Stroll through the medieval streets, try to decipher the ancient inscriptions that still adorn the doors here and take a trip out to the local vineyards to admire the scenery and of course, try the truly excellent wine. For those who are looking for a different way of exploring, join a segway tour! www.oenotourismus.fr
Le Petit Ballon’s namesake
We should probably let you in on a little secret; our namesake is located here! The Petit Ballon pass is 1162 metres high and is accessible by foot, car or even bike, so plenty of ways to make the trip depending on your preference.
Meet Joseph Cattin
The Riesling from Domaine Cattin is part of our collection, so what better way to understand the secrets of Alsace than by saying hello to him in person! You’ll learn all the processes of winemaking thanks to their wonderful guided tour of the estate, which nearly always ends in a tasting!
Where to sleep
Hotel Le Maréchal If you want to be utterly charmed and cozy, make sure you book a room at the Le Maréchal hotel. You’ll be pampered by their attentive staff before falling asleep in wonderfully decorated bedrooms, all with an old-fashioned Alsatian style and atmosphere. Bliss!

To eat
After your climb to the Petit Ballon pass, the Strohberg Farm-house restaurant will appear to you like an oasis in the desert! Beautifully cooked, traditional cuisine with views over the entire valley; we’re completely in love!
