Trader Joe’s “Two Buck Chuck” Charles Shaw not doing it anymore for your refined palate? If dry rieslings and aromatic gewürztraminers rev your engine, you’ll love the Alsace Wine Route. It’s a journey in northeastern France that takes visitors on a 105-mile drive, from the rolling vineyards of Thann to the ancient town of Marlenheim. This is the perfect wine weekend getaway, so allow for several days to explore. Beyond wine tasting, there are more than 100 charming villages tucked away in the foothills of the Vosges, peppered with medieval castles, half-timber buildings, romantic inns and Michelin-starred restaurants.
