The Southern Gateway to the Alsace Wine Route

Perched at the southern tip of the Alsace vineyard, Thann embodies the Southern Gateway to the Alsace Wine Route. Here, the Grand Cru Rangen, the only vineyard in the region with volcanic soil, stands out as a viticultural benchmark. Nestled at the foot of the Vosges foothills, the town unfolds a warm historic center, where the old town is organized around the Saint-Thiébaut collegiate church, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece. Nearby, the imposing ruins of Engelbourg Castle add a touch of mystery to this picturesque setting. To explore this unique terroir, three walking routes, marked by 19 explanatory panels, guide you through the steep vineyards of Rangen, the southernmost vineyard in Alsace.
