Eguisheim Hotels
Eguisheim hotels might be a good choice for you if you love wine and are looking to stay in a small village on the Alsace wine road...
The village of Eguisheim is very cute, incredibly medieval and equally as charming as Riquewihr.
Unfortunately it is becoming more and more touristy as well, but it still hasn't quite reached the status of Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé...
But now that it is the 2013 winner for "Most Beautiful Village in France" (a sort of yearly "Miss America" competition for villages that we have in France), it will be quite packed with tourists and...
Tour buses unfortunately...sigh : (
In
the center of the village you'll find the remains of the village castle
and a chapel dedicated to Leo IX as well restaurants, shops and
hotels...and some beautiful medieval houses.
And of course....wine!! ; )
Hopefully you'll find everything that you need to know about Eguisheim Hotels and France…

Daytrips from Eguisheim Hotels
Unfortunately you'll absolutely need a car to stay in Eguisheim hotels...
Otherwise you'll have to walk or bike the approximate 2 miles or 3.5 km from the nearest train station in Herrlisheim près Colmar to your hotel in Eguisheim.
Maybe not for you if you have a lot of luggage...
But with a car or a bike if you're up for it, you'll be just a bit south of the touristy parts of the wine road in Alsace.
And you'll certainly have quite a selection of Eguisheim hotels to choose from!
And there are some very cute wine villages (and some great wine as well) on the southern half of the wine road that you won't likely hear about in guide books...
Perfect for those of you looking to get off the beaten path on the Alsatian wine road!
Distances given are the approximate distances from the center of Eguisheim.
Villages with a * have a train stop or train station.
Turckheim*
5 miles/8 km
Turckheim is a beautiful little village on the Alsace Wine Road with a train station! So you can drink as much as you can want... Turckheim has a particular tradition that it has continued (with only two stops) for hundreds years. The Nightwatchman makes his rounds (May 1st to Oct 31st) at 10pm every night.
Colmar*
6 miles/9 km
Colmar is a medium sized town right in the middle of Alsace. It's on many many people's list of "most beautiful towns in France". The wine business made a lot of people wealthy during the late medieval period so there are a lot of beautiful and unique buildings to look at in Colmar.
Rouffach*
7 miles/12 km
Rouffach is an adorable village on the wine road with a train station, so no problem if you taste a little too much wine here...and it's a lot less crowded than other famous villages, but still very pretty and interesting to visit. Take a walk in the vineyards behind the Chateau d'Isenbourg for a fantastic view!
Ammerschwihr
8 miles/13 km
You'll probably pass Ammerschwihr on your way from Turckehim to Kaysersberg and you will definitely see it! It's the one with the huge tower (the Schelmenturm)... If you stop by, you'll have a choice of over 40 wine makers to choose from as you wander through the village. And for those of you who love to golf...
Kientzheim
8 miles/13 km
Kientzheim (not Kintzheim) is a beautiful little wine road village near Kaysersberg and it's also home to the Confrerie de Saint Etienne and their Alsatian Wine museum. If you want to learn more about the history of Alsatian wine and how it was produced, you might want to stop by.
Kaysersberg
9 miles/15 km
Kaysersberg is a just as beautiful medieval wine road village as Riquewihr with the added bonus of a ruined castle only a 15 minute hike away. The photo at the very top of this webpage was taken in Kaysersberg to give you an idea. So if you want to avoid the crowds in Riquewihr, Kaysersberg might be a good choice for your Alsace vacation. And it's the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer too.
Munster*
11 miles/18 km
Munster is a small town or very large village in a valley in the Vosges mountains that you can get to by train! It's also the birthplace of Munster cheese. You can taste Munster cheese anywhere in Alsace, but if you want some fresh locally made cheese, you'll have to visit the Munster valley (and you can see how it's made too).
