Bonjour les amis,

Alsace is known the world over for its wines and gastronomy : Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir…
I’ve compiled a list of the best Wineries in Alsace in this post, especially near Strasbourg.
I’ve based this ranking on official datas from the CIVA (Alsace Wine Professional Council), an association of 371 professional winegrowers.

My 19 Best Wineries In Alsace (2023) : Methodology And Dataset

This competition was held on May 11, 2023. Organized annually by the Alsace Wine Professional Council, in partnership with the Alsace Winemakers Association, this event honors the finest AOC Alsace and Crémant d’Alsace wines.
Medals, either Gold or Silver, are awarded to standout wines from independent vintners, cooperative wineries, and producer-traders in the Alsace region.
And of course, I visited each of them to give you my opinion of their wines and welcome.
Below is my personal selection of the Best wineries in Alsace (France) among all those awarded a gold medal in 2023:
