The Guggenbuhl family welcomes visitors and aims to please with food and wine that will be sure to make your dining experience a memorable one. The wine list is incredible and extremely well priced, especially with respect to older vintages, which appear not to have changed over the years. The menu is large and offers local specialties (particulary Fois Gras) and portions are on the large size.
The outdoor terrace is located in a garden surrounded by vineyards at the edge of the village. Specialites include the “Foie gras maison”, “salmon soufflé with sabayon truffles”, “ravioli of snails with poppy ” and more.

The vineyards surrounding Hunawihr whisper the village’s intimate bond with the world of wine. Traditions inherited over the centuries seep from the timber-framed, geranium-decked homes as you wind your way up the old village to Domaine Sipp Mack. It’s in this estate winery, nestled at the top of the town, that Jacques Sipp and his wife, Laura, now run the domaine bequeathed through the generations since 1698.

At the foot of the magnificent hill of Schlossberg, in a setting of vines and of roses, the Domaine Weinbach “stream of wine”, named after the small spring which goes through it, was built in 1612 by Capucin monks.

Do not hesitate to come and see us; we will greet you on appointment to offer you an exceptional moment with our wines and leave you with an unforgettable memory of Weinbach and Alsace.
Olivier Humbrecht’s supremely rich, complex and concentrated wines are controversial owing to their overwhelming power, often considerable residual sugar and flamboyant personalities. But this is one of the world’s great producers of white wine, with no corners cut in the vines or winery. The vineyards prouduce Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat and Pinot Blanc.
