Traveler reviews
Lilee Cuff
★★★★★3 months agoA very interesting hidden gem. The highlight of our visit to Strasbourg! It is free to visit, but highly recommend getting an audio guide (3 euros) to go through the 11 "stations" for a comprehensive tour. A bottle of the oldest wine (from 1472) is displayed in the cellar. Allocate about 45 minutes for a leisurely visit. There are wines for sale in the shop and all profit goes to support the hospital.

★★★★★a month agoSuch a beautiful and historic place. The winery is housed in a former hospice building, which gives it a very special atmosphere. It was an impressive visit, both for the history and the wine experience.
