Do you want to visit Capital of Alsatian Wine ? Colmar it is !

Colmar is the third-largest commune of the Alsace region in north-eastern France. The town is situated on the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the "capital of Alsatian wine" (capitale des vins d'Alsace). The city is renowned for its well-preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks, and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum, with the Isenheim Altarpiece.


The climate of Colmar is warm and temperate and the town sees significant amounts of rainfall throughout the year, even in the driest season. The region sees harsh winters with the temperatures falling significantly. The city sees visitors throughout the year and the best time to go to Colmar can be decided by the weather conditions or personal preferences.


Colmar has a sunny microclimate and is one of the driest cities in France, with an annual precipitation of just 607 mm (23.9 in), making it ideal for Alsace wine. It is considered the capital of the Alsatian wine region.

The dryness results from the town's location next to mountains, which force clouds arriving from the west to rise, and much of their moisture to condense and fall as precipitation over the higher ground, leaving the air warmed and dried by the time it reaches Colmar.
