Alsace : Country of the Romance.
Situated on the border of France and Germany, along the Rhine River , Alsace is situated between two mountain ranges : the Vosges and the Black Forest.
It is a rich land, full of vineyards and marvelous villages where restaurants and winstubs offer delicious regional specialities such as sauerkraut and universally acclaimed vintage wines such as Riesling, Sylvaner, Gewurtztraminer, Pinot Noir ...
