Beer & Bike in Alsace

Once you've seen one vineyard, you've seen them all, some say. But how many breweries have you visited? Craft beer is trendy and really fun. The flavor variation is at least as great as with wine. And surely a foaming mug is unbeatable for quenching thirst after a day's cycling. Alsace's secret is that the local food pairs even better with beer. Taste for yourself!

Welcome to an original cycling trip that borders France and Germany with the local breweries' passion and craftsmanship as the theme. The tour starts in Strasbourg and goes through fields of "green gold" hops, charming villages and cities like Ettlingen and Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg. You cycle on through the green forests of the Northern Vosges and the Haguenau area. 
Along the way, encounters with passionate brewers and tastings of the region's best beer varieties await – such as at the classic Villa Meteor. Each stop tells a story of tradition and love for the brewing craft. With well-signposted cycle paths and small roads, the journey becomes an enjoyable experience.

Tip: of course you can have a glass of good Riesling if you prefer!
