Cave Historique des Hospices de Strasbourg, Strasbourg

I've been here twice. The history is fascinating and I loved reading through all the history signs in the cave and of the wine making there. Lots of wine for purchase, many coming from the barrels you see there. Very eerie being in the basement of the hospital. Totally a little-known hidden gem to visit while you're in Strasbourg. Don't miss the explanation of the creepy room at the end - yikes!

This cellar is one of the best places we visited in Strasbourg. Rich with tradition, passion and history. We went on a Saturday and they had a wine tasting with all the regional winemakers, free of charge. A suggestion would be to email them and ask which days they host these tastings when you visit. We planned to taste a few wines and move on and ended up walking away with a box of wine and contact details of half the wine estates.

We loved it but it's small and doesn't take very long to go through. Bought a 2018 reisling and it was delicious.

Located just outside the main touristy areas of La Petite France is this must-see attraction. If you like wine, history, architecture, the art of cooperage, or all of the above, you will enjoy visiting this underground urban wine cellar, home to one of the oldest wines in the world. It takes about 30 minutes with the excellent recorded audio tour (headsets were 3 Euros when we visited). In addition to its storied past, it is also a working cellar, used by some local vineyards to age current vintages, likely as a novelty but you must admit that is charming and all proceeds go to raise funds for their landlord, the local hospital above the cellar. As others have noted, it is not the easiest place to find. Since you are reading this in Google Maps app, switch to street view, which may help you find the exterior staircase (on the yellow building) that leads down to the entrance.

Not a particular place to spend a lot of time. The wine is of a very good quality. I wanted to know more about the wine and the tastes of different brands in their store. However the person who was at the till could only speak French. But he was kind enough recommend a few from what little conversation I could struck up. All the 4 stars are for the quality of wine. If you are a wine lover or are looking for a wine-gift from Strassburg, this is the place to go!
