Finally the time has arrived to visit the Alsace region of France. In this video, we delight in the wines through a tasting at Domaine Martin JUND, explore the city of Colmar (where we’re staying), and visit Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg.

Colmar is on the Alsatian Wine Route, and the wines we try are varied and interesting! All clearly different from one another – a Moscato, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and Riseling. Colmar city itself has an intriguing history!

As a border town between France and Germany, control of the region changed hands many times. The influence of both cultures is self evident in everything from place names to the food and especially the architecture! Colmar is the French city that looks German.

Finally we visit the hilltop Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg. It takes some effort to get there by public transport. The foundations of this Chateau date back to the 12th century, and the interior was carefully restored in the early 1900s.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
