Panoramic View of Eguisheim, Alsace, France
Eguisheim, the birthplace of winegrowing in Alsace, has 1850 inhabitants and nestles between gentle hillsides covered with 339 hectares of vines. It lies in the heart of the Alsace wine region, at an altitude of 210m; the Alsace "Wine Route" passes the village. It is only 5km from Colmar, which can be seen at the background, on the left. Thanks to its winegrowers' skill, its remarkable soils and exceptional microclimate, Eguisheim's "Eichberg" and "Pfersigberg" slopes have been officially classified as "Alsace Grand Cru" vineyards.
