What To Expect
Maison ZEYSSOLFF is one of the few wineries in Alsace still to vinify in century-old oak "foudres" of over 10,000L. Its greatest curiosity is the ZEYSSOLFF cask, made in 1897 for the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition. Maison ZEYSSOLFF offers a complete guided tour of the winery, from cellar to bottle. A commented tasting of the estate's wines, accompanied by a slice of kougelhopf (Alsatian brioche), will thrill your taste buds... Following the organic conversion of our estate in 2020, we have renovated our cellar to offer our future visitors a new activity. We have a scenographic area in the cellar with a 180° immersive movie projected onto barrels - the only one of its kind in France. This movie is not a remake of anything we've seen to date about working in the vineyard...but a film about our rather rich history, and our working philosophy. The whole thing is projected in the winery, on hundred-year-old oak barrels at 180° (mapping on certain sequences) with sound work, allowing the audience to be totally immersed in our story.

Not the Best Wine Tasting in Alsace

2.00This establishment was chosen by our river cruise line as their choice for the Alsatian Wine Tasting excursion on April 21, while visiting Strasbourg. We were very disappointed with our excursion visit from start to finish. The place we were taken to was not a vineyard but a building in the village Gertwiller. The tasting room host appeared inconvenienced and distracted by our afternoon arrival. We were not taken into a tasting room or a barrel room as one would expect, but escorted into a room with rustic wood benches, some with fur skins, that did not even accommodate all of the touring guests. Additionally, each guest was given one glass to taste four wines. There was no spittoon, no water to cleanse the palate or rinse the glass between wines, no bread or crackers offered between wines. The manner of the host's presentation was short tempered and humorless. He walked away from our group to attend to something and then returned several times. When all of the four wines were finished, we were ushered in a cool dark room, resembling a narrow barrel room, to view a short family history film shown on the walls. This film is available to watch online. That was it. Finally, we exited the designated tasting room area and we were escorted into a wine / souvenir store. We were now given a piece of freshly baked bread as we walked around the retail operation. No one seemed interested in purchasing wine. I enjoyed one of the sparkling wines that was offered; it was the best of the four wines to my taste. The experience was so unimpressive that I am sure it does not reflect the Route des Vins d'Alsace at its best.
Informative and fun

5.00We found a very welcoming place and especially a guy who acted as a very good guide, prepared and nice. The wines are very good especially the riesling. Try the wines made in amphora, they really deserve.

5.00Not just sampling the wine but learning about the process in a fun and interesting way. It is out of the way but that is part of the fun, we caught the train from Strasbourg and arrived early for lunch. A very authentic experience, thank you.

An experience to do

5.00An experience to do absolutely! The winery is easily reached by train from Strasbourg and in 40 minutes you arrive in this enchanted village called Gertweller. The guy who accompanied us during the tasting was really nice and exhaustive. We tasted 6 wines (a special mention goes to them really excellent pinot grigio) and a typical Alsatian dessert. We came back drunk, satisfied and with a good bottle of Pinot Grigio, what else?
Off the beaten track excellence

5.00Off the beaten track excellence - we booked this tasting as the only option I could find for a Sunday in the region. We wanted a private picked up tour from Strasbourg but there were none available on a Sunday. We later learnt that practically all small towns close on a Sunday! So we were excited to find this one. We trained from Strasbourg to Barr (40min train ride) thinking we would walk around Barr explore. But nothing is open in Barr on Sunday. We walked from Bar to Gertwiller for the tasting (20min) and although we were early we could purchase a glass of wine and sit on the terrace. The tasting experience was fantastic and interactive. Started by walking out to the vineyard and then into the cellars. Their interactive film was really informative. The first one was quite simple about basic wine making practised (a little too basic for anyone that knows wine) but still fun because of the great host. The second film in the barrel store was great as we learnt of the estates history. Wines were great and we purchased a few bottles that we could enjoy on holiday. We had to leave quickly to make our train back, but the whole experience was great. The closest train station at Gertwiller was only a 8min walk. Overall- very happy with the experience- but people need to know that nothing is open on a Sunday in these areas.
