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.

Must-sees of Heiligenstein

Klevener de Heiligenstein, a wine like no other
Klevener de Heiligenstein takes its name from the Alsatian dialect and refers to a variety of Savagnin Rose cultivated exclusively on the village's granitic soils. Its aromatic profile is unique: notes of rose, sweet spices, and exotic fruits, with a characteristic fresh acidity.
The belvedere, panorama over the Rhine plain
Beyond wine, Heiligenstein offers from its natural belvedere one of the most complete panoramas of the Alsace plain, the Black Forest, and the Vosges. Thus, a village visit easily combines a wine stop at a cellar with a walk on the paths between the vines.
Domaine Boeckel in Mittelbergheim
A few minutes from Heiligenstein, Domaine Boeckel produces remarkable cuvées. Mittelbergheim and Heiligenstein often form a combined stop on oenological circuits.
Fête du Klevener
The Fête du Klevener, organized every summer in Heiligenstein, brings together the village's winegrowers for a day of tastings open to the public.
