Write a reviewWe did a wine tasting at this magnificent family winery and were delighted. We were a group of five, and the service was very pleasant, in English. The tour of the winery amazed us. We were able to buy wine on-site and try their "Sang du Dragon."

An exceptional visit to Domaine François Baur in Turckheim! Discovering the cellars with Philippe's fascinating explanations was a highlight. Philippe is very friendly and takes the time to share his know-how and the history of the estate. The tasting was complete, generous and even accompanied by a few extras, which far exceeded our expectations. The "Sang du Dragon" wine was not at the tasting, but we had the chance to taste it at Chalet le Collet: a real gem, a marvel to savor! This is definitely an estate to follow closely. If you are passing through the region, do not miss this unique experience. Congratulations to the whole team for your welcome and your remarkable work!
