Kaysersberg wine weekend
Hotel le CHAMBARD 5* nothing to say, everything was top-notch, with the utmost care for its guests, with delicate attentions (Kouglof and jar of jam offered on leaving).
The tastings were very well commented, with a special mention for the owner of the SCHOENHEITZ estate, who has a fascinating knowledge and approach to wines. The tasting accompanied by food was an added bonus to further appreciate the wines. Very good choice of winery.
On the other hand, a negative mention for FLAMME AND CO. We can't say it's bad, but we were sitting next to a corridor that had a nauseating stench, so we pointed it out to them, to no avail.
What's more, the pies were unremarkable, and for a flammekuche at the entrecote,
there were only 2 small pieces of meat! Kyr served in a wine glass!
For dessert, the apple flammekuche, the apples were not cooked...
In short, for us to forget.
We wanted to take another menu, but they refused, even though we had offered to pay the difference!
Not business people at all
Otherwise, the whole stay was very pleasant and instructive.
The people of Kaysersberg were very welcoming. Would do it again...
This is the 2nd time we've been with VINOTRIP, and we'll be going back to this organization because it listens to its customers' needs.

Forks & corkscrews in Alsace, a well-named stay
We discovered Alsace in August thanks to this magnificent stay: a 5* hotel + restaurant without a single false note, a warm welcome from all the hosts we met, very instructive visits. Only one regret: the visit to Domaine Stentz-Buecher was not included in our program as announced, and we did not visit Domaine Swach due to our hostess's lack of availability. A great memory

pentecost weekend in Alsace
Very well organized 3 days.
The hotel in Riquevhir was perfect.
Two tastings a day is a bit much and the inclusion of sightseeing in the program would be a plus.
The gourmet restaurants were perfect.
In the tourist areas, the staff are very friendly, but the managers much less so.
Vinotrip offers tours that I would recommend because they leave enough independence to feel at ease.

Great stay in Alsace
Our stay went very well, Alsace really is a beautiful place.
We were very well received at the chambre d'hôtes (Butterlin family). The room was equipped with a kitchen (practical when you have a baby) and a cot as requested. Breakfast was perfect and copious. The owner recommended a few restaurants in the area.
She was lovely and I think we'll be back.
The only disappointment was the first restaurant: le tire bouchon. Riquewihr is a very beautiful place, but very touristy. As a result, we were surrounded only by tourists in the winstub.
We would have liked a more "typical" winstub, where we could get in touch with Alsatians.
The food was decent. I'd like to make it clear that our disappointment wasn't with the food or the fact that it was a winstub, but more with the atmosphere of the place. We weren't in contact with the locals.
We had lunch at Le Chambard on Saturday lunchtime and the meal was EXCEPTIONAL.
We were afraid of being a bit uncomfortable (we arrived with baby and stroller) and in the end everything went very well.
The food is divine, the staff very welcoming.
We had a "surprise" menu and tasted dishes we would never have chosen from the à la carte menu (eel...).
The little extra: the cart of mignardises at the end of the meal, with coffee! A great experience!
Finally, the visit to the vineyards went very well.
We met some great people at the 3 estates. We met passionate people who told us their story, the story of the Alsatian terroir.
So our stay was very well organized (meal times and visits) and enabled us to discover a magnificent region!

Mireille and Patrick 18/11/2013
We spent 3 marvellous days in Alsace. (We even saw storks!) We appreciated the comfort of a 4-star hotel, the charm of a Winstub, the relaxing morning, the availability of the winegrowers, etc...
Thanks and bravo to VINOTRIP!

Weekend in Alsace
Great organization, charming village and great encounters (a big thank you to Thibault at the Martin Schaetzel estate, a former sommelier, who passed on his passion to us). We loved the Stenz-Buecher tasting cellar and the hotel's gourmet restaurant. The only downside was the view from our hotel room...

Gastronomic break in Alsace
Superb stay, very pleasant and well organized. Instructive visits and tastings to match, better than expected.
Tasting menu at Flamme & Co, with local beers, very good and friendly.
Highly recommended.
