Go on a Wine Tour

Of all the places to visit in Colmar, the most appealing to your taste buds is a trip to a traditional winery. The famous Alsace wine route draws tourists from across the world, and for a good reason. There are many wineries you can visit right in the town but, if you’re looking to venture further out, taking a wine tour to villages such as Eguisheim is a must! Experience the vineyards, enjoy a guided visit through the wine cellars, and top it off with a wine tasting. If you have the chance, try the Cremant K Brut sparkling wine, aged up to 24 months, and made using the Champagne method. Let's go

Hop on a Canal Tour

Little Venice is by far the most charming and picturesque part of the Old Town. As you walk down the cobblestone streets lining the canals, you immediately feel as if you’re in a fairytale. The best way to enjoy little Venice is on a canal tour; this activity should be at the top of your list of what to do in Colmar! As you float peacefully along the Launch River, you have a prime view of the beautifully decorated homes and arched bridges.
