Alsace

"A land of contrasts, Alsace enjoys a great diversity of terroirs and landscapes. Gifted for its vine cuture, it is endowed with a dry and temperate climate, complex geology, favorable soils and an ideal exposure for its vineyards.

Its geographical situation at a crossroads of Germanic and Roman influences, also tells a story: that of a culture fostered at the very outset by the Romans and perpetuated since by empassioned winegrowers"

The area is very green. You will find bios bakeries, markets in the village and many plowed  vineyards surrounded by herbs. The winemakers are numerous, four are part of the AVN (natural wine association)
