Kaysersberg Vignoble, Administrative commune in Haut-Rhin, France
Kaysersberg Vignoble is an administrative commune in Alsace made up of several villages nestled in a valley surrounded by wooded hills and vineyards. The area sits on gentle slopes with the terrain typical of this wine-producing region in northeastern France.
The commune was created in 2016 by merging three separate villages into one administrative unit. This consolidation allowed the region to streamline local governance while maintaining its wine-producing character.
Wine production shapes everything here, with stone buildings that once served as cellars, local taverns serving regional dishes, and vineyards spreading between the villages. Visitors can feel this tradition alive in the streets and through conversations with people who tend these lands.
The area is best explored on foot or by car, as the villages are connected by small roads through the countryside. Parking is available near village centers, and walking paths run between the vineyards.
A Japanese research center occupies a converted school building in one of the villages, creating an unexpected link between this Alsatian region and East Asia. This facility demonstrates how rural French communes can host international academic institutions.

The Alsace Wine Route connects dozens of villages that have preserved their medieval structures. Half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries line cobblestone streets, while town walls and watchtowers testify to the region's strategic importance. Many villages feature Romanesque churches with sculptural decoration and historic town halls. Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Eguisheim display typical examples of this architecture. Painted wooden beams on houses, old market squares, and vineyards on surrounding slopes characterize these settlements. Castle ruins such as Haut-Koenigsbourg occupy hilltops overlooking the Rhine plain. The region also maintains religious buildings like Murbach Abbey or the church of Thann with its Gothic portal. Local museums present medieval manuscripts and liturgical objects. This cultural landscape combines winemaking tradition with architectural heritage spanning several centuries.
