Barr, capital of lower-rhine wines

Group guided tours are available in French and German all year round, booking only. The major sites of interest are:

• The Town Hall
• The Folie-Marco Museum
• the Protestant Saint-Martin Church

All year round, the vineyards paths are major walking and hiking paths as they have easy access to them from the plain. They are located near wine producing villages and towns and this also gives the opportunity to meet wine growers.

Thus visitors can combine an invigorating walk on the vineyards, beautiful landscapes and sites and learn more about wine. The tour will end up in a wine tasting session at one of the cellars.

It is advisable to taste different wines from different grapes while visiting the cellars, especially the rarest one, the Klevener of Heiligenstein, it is indeed only produced in the five neighbouring towns. It is a 'Grand Blanc d'Alsace' has a golden leg, fruit driven bouquet and a round, soft and flower driven palate.

Wine tasting sessions are a great occasion for the wine makers to share their knowledge about their wine and to unveil their precious produce. Gastronomy is never far in Barr and numerous restaurants located in the region offer creative and affordable cuisines.

Finally, there are few historical monuments to visit such as castles and churches in Andlau.
