Itinerary
We will meet at Basel SBB train station and next will enjoy a 40 minutes train ride until beautiful Colmar
While in Colmar, we will accompany you throughout the visit, sharing the rich history of the town and its remarkable architecture. As we stroll through the picturesque old town for approximately 2.5 hours, you’ll discover beautifully preserved half-timbered houses, charming canals, and cobblestone streets that give Colmar its unique Alsatian character.
You’ll have about 1.5 hours of free time to enjoy a delicious Alsatian meal at one of the local restaurants and perhaps do a bit of shopping or simply soak up the atmosphere at your own pace.
Next, we will visit a local organic (bio) wine producer for a tasting of authentic Alsatian wines. This experience will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, giving you the opportunity to learn about the region’s unique grape varieties and winemaking traditions, all while sampling a carefully selected range of wines in a warm and welcoming setting.

About Basel
Basel is a Swiss city on the Rhine where Switzerland meets France and Germany, with a red-sandstone old town, a Gothic minster and many art museums.
Basel sits on a bend of the Rhine at the point where Switzerland, France and Germany meet. Its old town climbs the left bank to Münsterplatz, where the Gothic Minster in red sandstone holds the tomb of the scholar Erasmus. The Town Hall on the Marktplatz is red too, with a painted façade, and the Middle Bridge links the old town to Kleinbasel. Small ferries pulled across the river by the current alone run between the banks.
Top-ranked sights in Basel: Basel Minster (Basler Münster).
