We spent the first October weekend in Ribeauvillé, Alsace.
Over the years, we had been to several places in the Alsace, and this time we chose Ribeauvillé. I was surprised by its size – a long main street with plenty of shops, many restaurants, and to my husband’s pleasant surprise, we discovered a whisky bar (Le Saint-Ulrich) as well.

I had seen steep vineyards before, but never quite like this.

One of the best things in life is a little uphill walk, with your husband carrying the picnic makings in his backpack. We enjoyed the view, the wine, and our own company.
The weather in early October is often fairly nice, or we might have been just lucky over the years. We hope to do this again next year.
Nice photos. The hillside vineyard IS steep!
