Blienschwiller and its vines, Route des Vins of Bas-Rhin
Grand cru Winzenberg · Route des Vins Bas-Rhin

Blienschwiller,
confidential wine village of the Route des Vins

Blienschwiller is one of the most confidential wine villages on the Route des Vins, dominated by the Winzenberg and its ruined castle on granite soil. Thus, Elsass VTC takes you from Barr, Dambach-la-Ville, or Strasbourg directly to this preserved village — to taste a Riesling grand cru away from the tourist hustle.

Why choose a VTC

Why choose a VTC in Blienschwiller?

The Winzenberg, granitic grand cru
The Winzenberg grand cru takes its name from the medieval castle ruins that dominate the village. Its pink granitic soil gives birth to Rieslings with a sharp minerality and Gewurztraminers of remarkable finesse. Your chauffeur takes you directly to the cellar for a tasting off the beaten path.
Confidential stop on the Route des Vins
Blienschwiller does not appear in all travel guides — that is precisely its charm. Moreover, winegrowers welcome visitors in a family and warm setting, without the pressure of tourist flows. Therefore, your visit resembles more of a human encounter than a mass-market stop.
Combined with Dambach and Itterswiller
Blienschwiller lies between Dambach-la-Ville to the south and Itterswiller to the north — two must-sees on the Route des Vins. Moreover, the three villages form a triangle of less than 5 kilometers, ideal for a morning of wine discovery without logistical break. Thus, your chauffeur links the three stops in one day.
The must-sees

The must-sees of Blienschwiller

The Winzenberg, a discreet grand cru
The Winzenberg grand cru covers about 19 hectares on the heights of Blienschwiller. Unlike more publicized grands crus, it remains confidential and its wines are rarely found outside the village cellars. The estates Klur-Stoecklé and Rieflé-Landmann produce Winzenberg cuvées highly appreciated by connoisseurs. Moreover, the ruined castle is accessible on foot from the village center, via a 30-minute climb through the vineyards.
Circuit Dambach — Blienschwiller — Itterswiller
This triangle of wine villages is one of the most confidential circuits on the Route des Vins. Thus, our chauffeur service is ideal for creating a personalized itinerary: lunch in Dambach-la-Ville, tasting at Winzenberg in Blienschwiller, then a flower-filled late afternoon in Itterswiller.
