Delighted with our stay
Stay offered by our children for our 50th wedding anniversary
The accommodation at La demeure d'antan is very comfortable and tastefully furnished, and the breakfast is delicious and equally copious.
Vinotrip customers are warmly welcomed, both in the wineries and in the activities.
Special mention to Domaine Stentz Buecher, where we spent an excellent time tasting top-quality wines.
Not forgetting the magnificent Alsace region, which is well worth extending your stay for its cuisine, wines, architecture and mountain scenery.
We were able to hike and walk to discover a little more of this beautiful region.

VERY NICE STAY
A stay offered by my colleagues for my retirement.
No false notes: whether during the reservation/finalization of the stay with VINOTRIP & then with the various participants on site.
Chambre d'hôtes (Demeure d'antan) impeccable

A relaxing stay in Alsace
Perfect organization expected every time, whether for tastings, meals or overnight stays. If we had organized our stay on our own, we wouldn't have discovered such pleasant places with such friendly people.

The charm of Alsace awaits you.
When I retired, my colleagues offered me this tasting of Alsace wines in Riquewihr with Vinotrip, and we'll always remember it fondly.
We arrived the day before and spent the day at the Spa "Resort Barrière" in Ribeauvillé.the view over the Vosges and the 3 pools heated to 34° are magnificent, with several sauna and hammam sessions (humm). We booked 2 massages (absolute relaxation).
We spent 2 nights at the "demeure d'antan", aptly named. Its owner, whose life is full of surprises, takes particular care with the rooms, the dining room, the decoration and the breakfasts. He is passionate about Alsatian history and traditions. Many thanks again to Philippe.
We had 2 organic wine tastings with very well commented visits , the wine library of the Stentz Buecher estate is just magnificent , but beware , the mistress of the house is generous on the wine tasting (you need to bring a SAM) .
We also took a boat trip on the Lauch River, with the sailor's commentary on the old town and its history.
Another wonderful discovery was the L'ARPEGE restaurant in Colmar, served in its romantic courtyard, just the thing for lovers (or not).
Be sure to book well in advance.
Don't forget your phone to take beautiful photos of Alsace, with its colorful houses and half-timbered structures, and its almost tree-like geraniums.
Many thanks to the Vinotrip organization and team.
Alsace is really worth the detour and I recommend this stay.
We'll be back.

Great organization!
We had a wonderful stay, with very welcoming people at Demeure d'Antan, at the estates we visited and at the restaurants we chose.
Very well organized.
To be repeated!

A short break on the Alsace wine route
Offered by my work colleagues for my retirement, these few days spent in Alsace were extremely enjoyable. Stroll along the wine trail, wine tasting, bed and breakfast, lunch, dinner, visit to Colmar - everything was top quality, really!
We added a moment of relaxation at the Ribeauville spa, which I highly recommend. Well done for the organization and choice of services, and thank you for reserving a sunny day for us ???? I recommend you without hesitation.

Alsatian break
Magnificent stay
Very warm welcome at the "demeure d'antan" and at the 2 winegrowers'. Also worth discovering is the Arpège restaurant in Colmar.
The only downside was the very short and overpriced boat trip.
Otherwise, everything was perfect.

A wonderful romantic break
We had a lovely romantic stay and rediscovered Alsace, which we already knew a little about (we got married there). We rounded off our discovery of this beautiful region with a barefoot walk in the woods of Lac Blanc (Orbey), met some nice people at the "Demeure d'Antan" gîte, tasted some fine wines at Domaine Bott Geyl (a little too commercial a welcome) and got even better with a warm welcome at Domaine Stentz-Buecher. A simple but thoughtful meal for our small appetites at Le Chambard and a tour of Colmar, by boat with a pleasant guide, ... A visit we completed (at our own expense) with a tour of the old town on the little train. Thanks to Vinotrip for its organization, and thanks to my former colleagues for this wonderful "pre-retirement" gift.

STAY IN THE ALSATIAN VINEYARDS
A wonderful stay, perfectly organized by Vinotrip.
Of particular note were the two visits to passionate winegrowers, with tastings of excellent wines, the simply exceptional Arpège restaurant and the discovery of the "barefoot trail", an original adventure. I really recommend this trip.

Tour of the Alsace Beblenheim vineyards
A very good organization.
Domaine Jean Huttard is great! Passionate people who take the time to explain growing, creating and tasting.
La Demeure D'Antan is top-notch! The hosts are charming and the rooms very welcoming.
The boat tour of Colmar is good, perhaps a little short, but the details are very interesting.
We were delighted and came back with lots of flavors on our taste buds and a fine wine cellar in the making.

visit to the ALSACIEN vineyard
Perfect organization by VINOTRIP.
We particularly recommend the warm accommodation at "Demeure d'antan" and the ARPEGE restaurant in Colmar. The welcome at the two wineries we visited was excellent, and the original "Pieds Nus" (barefoot) trail is a must-do. All in all, an excellent stay that we'll be happy to recommend.

Organic wine tasting in Alsace
A super successful stay, it was a birthday present for my man and we really enjoyed ourselves. First of all we had a great welcome from Nathalie and Roby at the Demeure d'Antan where we stayed in a lovely room and they gave us lots of ideas for visits in the time we had free. Both tastings were super interesting and very different. At Bott Geyl we tasted some great wines and received a short introduction to wine tasting. Then the weather turned bad, so we weren't able to do
the barefoot hike. The next day's visit to Colmar is very pleasant. It's an original and instructive way to visit Colmar along the Poireau, as the river is called...
Afterwards, we went to Marcel Humbrecht's tasting room in Guebershwirh, a passionate and fascinating man who gave us a lesson in history and oenology.
As for lunch at L'Arpège, it was delicious, fine and original, and we tasted a variety of very good wines to match our choice of dishes. The owner and waiters were very friendly, welcoming and attentive to our every need. The place is also very pretty. I'd recommend a stay like this as a gift, or for any occasion when you want to take a couple on a trip to our beautiful French regions on an original theme. Very, very good!

Very pleasant stay, very well organized and excellent food.
Vinotrip contacted me by phone on the day of departure to give me the final details and make sure everything was fine. On arrival in Riquewhir, Valérie was waiting to show us around our splendid accommodation in the medieval part of the town (a dream) and our stay got off to a great start with visits to the cellars, where we were given a personal welcome and extensive tastings, as well as a boat trip (to be recommended) and an exceptional lunch at "L'arpège". We are very happy with our stay.

A positive experience and one to be repeated!
We had a wonderful stay. The old house is located in a quiet area, the manager was very pleasant and prepared a very copious breakfast for us. The room was very clean. And the setting was magnificent, with on-site parking.
Everything you need for a pleasant stay.
As for the restaurants Flamme&Co and L'Arpege, it was a very good discovery where we ate very well. Delicious and very refined, especially at L'Arpege.
For the 2 estates it was a very good experience, the staff very smiling with a complete visit of the cellars and all the explanations that go with it. We tasted some very good vintages! And always with a magnificent view.
Great discovery of Colmar by boat (despite a few drops of rain), the guide captivated us with the history of Colmar.
A first experience that we really enjoyed.
