You step off a tram into the Krutenau as dusk softens the city’s stone walls; the smell of yeast and citrus slips from open doors and a guide is already waiting with a tray of small stemmed glasses. For 90 minutes the city’s urban hum narrows into attentive sips — zest of Riesling, the rose spice of Gewurztraminer, the honeyed lift of late-harvest selections — each glass a short walk through Alsace’s slopes.
