B&B Le Clos des Raisins

We stayed at Le Clos Des Raisins 13 years ago during the harvest season and it obviously made an impression. So when we decided to travel to the Alsace area to visit the Christmas Markets this past December, we knew where, and with whom, we wanted to stay. It is the perfect location, just off the Route des Vins, and an easy drive to quaint villages, Colmar, Strasbourg and even into Germany (we explored Freiberg.) Beblenheim is a small village but with character, wineries and vineyards to explore. Clos des Raisins is a safe, wonderful place, where Thierry welcomes you and prepares breakfasts that are special. A home-baked brioche is offered every day, multiple homemade unique jams and jellies are introduced, and an unending pot of coffee or tea. We especially like that all guests staying at the B and B sit and eat, at the same table at the same time. We met, talked with and learned from, people from all over Europe and the USA. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. There are common spaces on the property if you want to relax with a coffee or drink to enjoy the quiet after a day of touring. No review can be complete without specifically mentioning Thierry. He is a kind, gentle person who is there to help but not intrude. He facilitates the breakfasts and ensure the guests are welcomed and engaged. He'll share the back stories on the area and help you navigate travel, tourists or places to get an amazing meal. You need a car if you're staying at Clos des Raisins but if that's not an issue, I can't imagine a better base from which to explore the Alsace area summer, fall or winter. It's a 5 out of 5 without reservation.
