Adventure Culinary Travel
We made our way back to the wonderful little town of Eguisheim. Very likely my favorite town in the world, I couldn’t wait to walk through those medieval streets and see everything we could! We had amazing food, great drinks, saw the most beautiful contrasts, and settled in to a nice pub for a fun end to the night. What more could you want?
Read MoreWe stroll around Ribeauville on our last morning in town, tasting wine, talking with locals, and seeking out a unique bottle of a beverage most wouldn’t imagine!
Read MoreAn evening stroll through beautiful Kaysersberg led us to one of the most exquisite meals of our lives. As we recount the evening, we reflect upon the passing of a mentor of sorts, who spent his final moments a mere few yards from this fantastic restaurant in this lovely town.
Read MoreNiedermorschwihr - a little town with a big name - is home to Maison Ferber Au Relais des 3 Epis, a famous gourmet shop and a true Alsatian culinary destination. We sought out the highly prized jellies from Christine Ferber, walked through the picturesque town, and ultimately stopped at a scenic lookout point where we had an unexpected adventure and a moment of panic!
Read MoreHigh on the mountain, in the hills of Troi-Epis, there sits a cemetery in the forest that is the final resting place for many German soldiers, most who lost their lives in the First Wold War. A truly somber experience that led to a lot of reflection upon war and its many victims, it was also a unique place that gives a more personal side of history.
Read MoreOur return to the impossibly beautiful town of Kaysersberg was a stop we have long been looking forward to, as we didn’t spend as much time here before. Around every corner we found ourselves in awe over the sheer incredible beauty of this place, from the integrated nature to the colorful buildings and the surrounding hills and vineyards. We followed in Albrecht Schweitzer’s footsteps, visited a memorial to fallen WWII soldiers, wound down with great coffee, and gave in to the temptation of the many amazing pastry shops. And the skulls? Yes, we went back to visit the skulls!
Read MoreJust outside Kaysersberg is the little town of Keintzheim. Most I knew of the little town was that it had old walls and a WWII era tank sitting at the entrance. We did find the walls and the tank, but also found a little village that was empty of people at the moment, yet packed full of charm!
Read MoreAfter seeking out an eau-du-vie distillery and exploring a new part of Ribeauville we haven’t been through before, we decide to make the quick trip back to Riquewihr for dinner! We strolled through the empty evening streets as everyone was at their own meals, and settled in to Winstub Tire Bouchon at Maison Zimmer. The night was ended with a perfect stroll through town after dark, the lights and night sky lending a different kind of beauty to this pretty town.
Read MoreAn afternoon in Riquewihr spent savoring the town’s many flavors. Outstanding wine at Maison Zimmer, cheese at Les Caves d’Affinage, and eye candy of the beautiful old streets and buildings of the town. As the sky grew dark and the rain poured down, we took shelter on the covered patio of Brasserie du Vignoble, the little brewery in wine country…
