Wine Tastings in Alsace-Lorraine
(https://www.bargecruisesblog.com/2026/07/wine-tastings-in-alsace-lorraine/)

You will have the opportunity to enjoy private wine tastings in Alsace-Lorraine as you pass through the Route des Grand Vins on your hotel barge cruise.

The Route des Grands Vins

The Route des Grands Vins, officially established in 1953, winds 170 kilometers through the valleys in the Vosges foothills. Stretching from Marlenheim in the north to Thann in the south, the Route takes in over 1,000 wine producers.

Many vineyards and wineries along the Route des Grands Vins welcome visitors for tasting sessions. If you’re travelling through Alsace on a hotel barge cruise, you will have the opportunity to attend wine tasting excursions.

To reassure the novice and to refresh the more experienced wine connoisseurs, we have compiled a few guidelines on tasting etiquette to get the most from your visits.

Enjoy an Autumn Barge Cruise

When thoughts turn to barging in Europe, summer is often the first season that comes to mind. For those who have taken an autumn hotel barge cruise, it’s clear that this season provides some of the most unforgettable journeys. With vibrant landscapes, quieter waterways, and comfortable temperatures, autumn is the ultimate, immersive season for discovering Europe.

Whether you’re gliding through Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, Southern France, Italy or Scotland, autumn transforms the landscape while providing unique cultural and culinary experiences. It is a season that perfectly complements the slower pace and intimate nature of a luxury hotel barge cruise.

Autumn Colors Transform the Landscape

One of the greatest reasons to take a hotel barge cruise in autumn is the scenery. As the seasons change, the trees lining Europe’s rivers and canals burst into shades of gold, amber, copper, and crimson. Vineyards turn vibrant autumn hues creating breathtaking views around every bend.

Unlike land travel, a hotel barge cruise allows you to enjoy the landscape at a leisurely pace. The gentle speed of canal cruising means you can fully appreciate the changing colors reflected on the water, watch wildlife preparing for the colder months of winter, and relish the tranquillity of the countryside.

About French Hotel Barge Savoir Vivre

The French hotel barge Savoir Vivre was purposely designed for barge charter cruises. Savoir Vivre has a crew of three, and accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 identical cabins, each with ensuite bathroom facilities. Their program is designed to be affordable and to appeal to travelers more interested in experiences than amenities.

For the 2026 season, Savoir Vivre is based in Northern Burgundy on the Canal de Bourgogne between Tanlay and Venarey-les-Laumes due to canal work being carried out in the southern portion of the canal.

Savoir Vivre does not have an onboard chef. Breakfasts are of the continental variety with fresh bread & pastries from the local bakery, along with coffee, tea, and juice. Lunches are freshly prepared and provided by a private chef who meets the barge along the way. In the evening, dinner is experienced at some of the local authentic french restaurants along our route. Dinners ashore are included in the charter fee.

French Hotel Barge L'Impressionniste's New Burgundy Itinerary (Canal du Centre)

The portion of the Canal du Bourgogne that the French Hotel Barge L'Impressonniste normally cruises will be closed due to engineering work. Therefore, beginning in May 2026 and throughout the remainder of the season, she will cruise on the Canal du Centre, approximately 25 miles to the south.

The Canal du Centre offers equally enchanting landscapes, historic villages, and opportunities to explore Burgundy's renowned wine and gastronomy, ensuring a memorable and authentic experience. Many of L'Impressionniste's usual excursions will still be offered, including Dijon, Clos de Vougeot, and Beaune. Enjoy enchanting landscapes, historic villages, and many of her classic experiences — a perfect mix of familiar favorites and new discoveries.
