September 12th
- 19th This year, we are going to Alsace. Never heard of it? Alsace is in the eastern corner of France and borders on Germany to the north and Switzerland to the South. And while this may conger up images of tall mountains, the surprising thing is that it is part of a 30 mile wide valley along the Rhine River. The result is lots of rolling hills, filled with vineyards, quaint villages filled with half-timbered houses, and mountain vistas everywhere. The food is varied and combines the best of French and German cuisine. And the wines are world renowned. For more information, click here.
