Viticulture in the Noble Valley covers approximately 500 hectares of vineyards, spread mainly across the communes of Soultzmatt and Westhalten. In each of these two communes, a wine trail allows visitors to discover the grape varieties, the characteristics of the wines, and the different stages of vine cultivation and winemaking. During the summer season, winegrowers organize guided tours, cellar visits, and tastings. More than thirty winegrowers, as well as a winery between Soultzmatt and Westhalten, offer this tourist and gastronomic experience. All Alsace grape varieties are grown in the Noble Valley: Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurtztraminer, Pinot Noir, Muscat, and Crémant. The Noble Valley is also home to two Grand Cru sites, namely the "Vorburg" and the "Zinnkoepflé," the highest-ranked Grand Cru vineyard. Its shelly limestone, combined with extremely low rainfall, produces wines with a rich bouquet, spice, and fire, especially Gewurtztraminer. Pleasant in their youth, the Zinnkoepflé Grands Crus surprise with their extraordinary aptitude for maturation and thus naturally rank at the top of the select family of great wines for aging and gastronomy.

This well-preserved city gate marks the historic entrance to the old town of Gueberschwihr. Originally built as part of the medieval defensive structure, the gate today offers an atmospheric view of cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. A photogenic point that perfectly introduces your passage through this charming wine village.

Romanesque tower and neo-Romanesque splendor: This church in Gueberschwihr combines centuries of history in one building. The 36-meter-high Romanesque bell tower from the 12th century – classified as a historical monument since 1841 – is the only remnant of the original church. The current neo-Romanesque church was built between 1874 and 1878, with respect for the old tower. Inside, you can admire colorful frescoes by Martin Feuerstein (1898), depicting the life of Saint Pantaléon. Behind the church, you can still see arcades of the disappeared ossuary and old sarcophagi from the Frankish period.

The village is perched on a hill covered in vines and has Renaissance houses, fountains and the magnificent monumental three-storey (36 m) high Romanesque bell tower with double windows of the Église St-Pantaléon, the last remnant of the early 12th century church. Merovingian sarcophagi stand next to it.

From the bench you have a wonderful view of the valley and across to the Black Forest.

A fabulous view that you have to hike to see beforehand.
