Nicknamed the Pearl of the Alsatian Vineyard, Riquewihr is a fortified Renaissance town listed among The Most Beautiful Villages of France. Just 70 km from Strasbourg (approx. 55 minutes drive), explore its cobbled alleyways, famous Dolder Tower, and Grand Cru wines in complete peace of mind aboard our exceptional black vehicles.
Nestled in the foothills of the Vosges 15 minutes north of Colmar, Riquewihr is a true open-air museum. Protected by its 16th-century ramparts spared from wartime destruction, the town has preserved its richly colored half-timbered houses, carved oriel windows, and Renaissance inner courtyards. With Elar Drive, enjoy a smooth and elegant journey from your hotel or residence in Strasbourg.
Strolling along Rue du Général de Gaulle, the main thoroughfare lined with 15th and 16th-century winemakers' homes, you reach the Dolder Tower. Built in 1291 and standing 25 meters high, this fortified belfry served as the upper entrance gate to the town. Nearby, the Thieves' Tower houses the former dungeons of the Lordship of Horbourg-Riquewihr. Your VTC driver drops you off right in front of the fortified gates, sparing you tiresome walks from the outer parking lots.
Riquewihr also owes its world renown to its exceptional wine terroirs. The slopes of Schoenenbourg, famous for their highly refined Rieslings, and the Sporen terroir produce wines of remarkable aromatic richness. Take advantage of your stop to visit the village's historic estates (Maison Hugel, Domaine Dopff au Moulin). Thanks to your dedicated driver, enjoy your Alsace wine tastings in complete freedom without worrying about driving.
Every visit to Riquewihr is customizable to your preferences. You can book a direct round trip from Strasbourg with free time to explore, or opt for a tour combining Riquewihr with nearby Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, or Kaysersberg.
For total flexibility, our hourly chauffeur service starts at €50/h with a minimum of 4 hours in a Comfort Sedan. Your driver patiently awaits you during your walks and gourmet lunches, and your purchases of wine cases are stored safely in the vehicle's air-conditioned trunk.
