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.

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.
Very good experience

5.00A very pleasant experience. We were very warmly received. The wines were good and varied, there was something for everyone. The kougelhopf was excellent and the choice within their small grocery store is of very good quality, we highly recommend!

1.00There were 10 of us at the wine tasting. This is highly recommended. After that we bought wine bottles and wanted to have a glass on the beautifully landscaped terrace. When asked about the second bottle of wine we were told that winery close in 5 minutes. We asked for two bottles to take away and received them including paper cups. Unfortunately, we had to pay the in-house price of a whopping 25€ per bottle instead of 13€. So in the end we paid 24€ for paper cups and were very unkindly sent off !
