A trip down to see a couple stages of the Tour de France is providing us with an excuse to visit some wonderful areas for beer and wine. We will be spending two weeks in Alsace and the Black Forest in Germany. We end our trip in northern Italy, on Lake Como.
As we go, we will be writing about some of the best drink venues we visit along the way. There is some great wine to be found on both sides of the border, as well as some of the best beer in the world. If you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them.
Here are the posts we made along the way:
Kolben Kaffee Akademie, Freiburg
Jean-Louis et Fabienne Mann, Eguisheim
Brewpubs & Biergärten, Freiburg
Cheers,
Geoffrey & Sarah
