Route des Vins, Alsace, France

The Route des Vins follows the Rhine under Strasbourg in the Alsace and is a self-drive extension of the German Weinstrasse. This is ideal Riesling area as you drive under meticulously tended slopes of tethered grapes and past towns covered in geraniums that are hidden behind ancient gates. The densely wooded Vosges Mountain range, which towers over them, is home to a number of fortresses that face the Rhine and are always on the alert for potential attackers. Driving the entire road takes a few days, and its highlights include Obernai, one of France's most quaint villages, and Haut-Koenigsbourg, a 12th-century fortress that was reinforced in the 19th century under German administration.
