Located 65 km south of Strasbourg (about 50 to 55 minutes drive), Ribeauvillé is an exceptional medieval city dominated by three castles and renowned for its centuries-old fiddler traditions. Discover its Renaissance alleyways and famous wine estates with a dedicated Elar Drive private chauffeur.
Former stronghold of the Lords of Ribeaupierre, Ribeauvillé immediately charms with its perfect alignment at the foot of the Vosges mountains. Proudly overlooking the vineyards, the ruins of three medieval castles—Saint-Ulrich Castle, Girsberg Castle and Haut-Ribeaupierre Castle—offer a majestic backdrop. It is also the city of fiddlers, celebrated every autumn during Pfifferdaj, the oldest folk festival in Alsace.
Strolling down the pedestrian Grand-Rue, admire the Butchers' Tower (Tour des Bouchers), an imposing 13th-century fortified belfry separating the upper and lower town, the Pfifferhaus (Fiddlers' House from 1683) and Town Hall Square (Place de l'Hôtel de Ville) with its Renaissance fountain. Your private chauffeur drops you off directly at the Grand-Rue entrance, freeing you from parking hassles that are particularly complex in peak season.
Ribeauvillé boasts three exceptional Grand Cru terroirs: Osterberg, Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé, and Geisberg. Winemakers produce Rieslings, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer renowned for their minerality and elegance. Enjoy a guided cellar tour at Cave de Ribeauvillé (the oldest cooperative in France) or the famous Maison Trimbach. Your private chauffeur handles your wine cases and ensures their safe transport in the vehicle.
