Our promise
Colmar is the most efficient starting point for exploring the Alsace Wine Route. The wine capital of Alsace sits less than 20 minutes from Eguisheim, Turckheim, Kaysersberg and Riquewihr: in one day from your hotel you can visit several villages and two or three wineries without ever driving.
FJ13 picks you up at your hotel, at Colmar train station or at your rental, by sedan (1 to 3 passengers) or van (4 to 7 passengers). Your driver adapts the itinerary to your wishes, books the tastings if you like, and brings you back to your starting point.
Starting point
Why start from Colmar
The most central base in the vineyard
Colmar is surrounded by the most visited villages of the Wine Route: Eguisheim to the south, Turckheim to the west, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé to the north. Driving times stay short, so your day is spent in villages and cellars, not on the road.
Ideal for car-free stays
Colmar is served by TGV high-speed trains from Paris and regional trains from Strasbourg and Mulhouse. From the station or your hotel, your driver takes over: no rental car, no parking constraints in the villages, and you enjoy the tastings freely.
A solution for river cruise passengers
Calling on the Rhine, for example at Breisach, about thirty minutes from Colmar? We organise the full excursion from your port of call, with guaranteed return at the agreed time before your ship departs.
