Why Riquewihr Old Town matters

Riquewihr is a walled village surrounded by Riesling vines. Its main street is lined with half-timbered houses, wine cellars and fountains. Tasting a dry Alsatian white while walking its lanes is the main activity. Walk the main street slowly, stop at a cellar for a taste, and stroll the old ramparts.
