Why choose a VTC

Why choose a VTC in Heiligenstein?

The Klevener, confidential grape variety
Klevener de Heiligenstein is a local variant of Savagnin Rose, authorized only on the communal territory of Heiligenstein. Thus, it cannot be produced anywhere else in Alsace or the world. Your driver takes you directly to the cellar for a tasting of this confidential, aromatic wine.
Between Barr and Obernai
Heiligenstein is ideally situated between two major hubs of the Bas-Rhin Wine Route. Moreover, the view over the vines from the village belvedere is one of the finest in the region. Therefore, a stop in Heiligenstein fits naturally into a broader day circuit.
Authentic wine village
Heiligenstein has preserved its character as a hardworking wine village, far from the tourist bustle of major stops. In addition, winegrowers gladly welcome visitors who take the time to come outside busy weekends. However, it is essential to call ahead — your driver can coordinate appointments.

Klevener de Heiligenstein, a wine like no other
