Experience the Heritage and Craftsmanship of Alsace Wines

Etienne Simonis: A Renowned Alsatian Winery

Located in the picturesque Alsace wine region, the Etienne Simonis winery spans 7 hectares, primarily in Ammerschwihr, with additional vineyards in Kaysersberg, Bennwihr, and Sigolsheim. The Simonis family has a rich history of viticulture in Ammerschwihr dating back to the 17th century. In 1969, René Simonis replanted the vineyard on land passed down from his father, and in 1975, he established the winery in Moulins, which remains the estate's home today.

Crafting Quality Wines at Etienne Simonis

In 1996, Etienne Simonis took over the winery after René's retirement. He focused on expanding the vineyard while reducing yields to enhance quality. By blending traditional family techniques with modern technology, Etienne produces exceptional wines. His education in Beaune further enriches his winemaking approach. The family now cultivates vines in the prestigious Kaefferkopf and Marckrain Grand Cru areas. Wines are aged in a combination of oak tuns, stainless steel tanks, and 228-liter oak casks. Most of the vineyard has earned the Agriculture Biologique organic farming label, and the team employs biodynamic practices to ensure the highest quality.

What a shame that we didn't discover this winery sooner! All the wines that the nice lady let us taste tasted excellent. If you are in Alsace, seek out this winery! Moreover, it is grown biologically dynamically. The price-quality ratio is exceptionally good.

It really is a very beautiful work, how lucky we are in France to have winemakers like the Simonis to make us such good and elaborate wines and their know-how deserves recognition. I highly recommend it.

Good tasting in this cellar in the middle of the vineyards, together with the very nice Etienne! The seats next to the barrel are very nice!

A gem in Alsace, also because they make their wines according to the Demeter qualification. It looks sober when you drive up, but appearances can be deceiving. We still enjoy their wines (visited in June 2017) and for very affordable prices. Highly recommended! Visited again in September 2021, this is really one of the better wineries in Alsace. They take all the time for you, you experience their passion and love for the wine. Demeter wines are really not expensive, you can also leave the wines in your cellar for several years. Doing!

Six of us paid a temporary visit. The owner warmly received us in the wine cellar and allowed us to taste 5 different BIO organic wines. Each wine has its own merits and we bought more than 20 bottles at once.
