That first night on the Route du Vin we stayed in a little inn up in the hills near Kaysersberg. We had a whole apartment to ourselves, and the price included dinner and breakfast in the lodge dining room
Looking over the courtyard from our door; the restaurant is in the building across the way.
The picture is probably too small for you to see the sheep….but there were sheep wandering around on the property.
Chris enjoyed an itty bitty carafe of Alsatian wine in the restaurant that night.
The dining room.
And our dinner: the classic Alsatian dish Baekeoffe. We’d been seeing this on restaurant menus all over and I was delighted to finally find out what it was: four kinds of meat stewed in white wine and spices with sliced potatoes and onions. They have special ceramic pots that they make it in, which were for sale in all the cities we stopped in.
Our first city stop that morning was Kaysersberg—possibly the most beautiful place we visited.
More gluhwein!
With a river running through town…
And my one big souvenir: a hand-painted Alsatian ceramic tart pan. A big one. I’m going to have to double all my recipes.
The city of Colmar was our final stop on La Route du Vin. These first few pics are from the Little Venice part of town.
And getting into the old town we see the typical pastel-colored wood timbered houses of Alsace.
Quaint streets..
The cathedral near a frosty tree.
