Colmar

Where half-timbered dreams meet the vineyard trail

About Colmar

Colmar's Little Venice district, with its candy-colored half-timbered houses reflected in the canals of the Lauch River, is the kind of place that makes you forget which century you're in. The capital of Alsatian wine, this town weaves together French elegance and German coziness in a tapestry of cobblestone lanes, flower-draped bridges, and some of the finest Riesling you'll ever taste.
