About This Drive
This four-day driving adventure combines the romance of the Alsace Wine Route with the thrilling roads of Germany's Black Forest. Starting in the historic city of Strasbourg, you'll wind your way through the heart of one of France's most picturesque wine regions — a 170km ribbon through 70 villages and over 1,000 wine producers. You'll have the opportunity to sample world-class Rieslings and Gewürztraminers, and to immerse yourself in the unique Franco-Germanic culture of Alsace. The journey then crosses the Rhine into Germany, where you'll take on the legendary Schwarzwaldhochstrasse (B500). Paved since 1932, this iconic 60km road offers 10% gradients, dense forest canopy, and a mix of challenging corners and fast, sweeping sections. The route concludes in the elegant spa town of Baden-Baden.
