STRASBOURG WINE EXPO

The Patch Ski Club is hosting a one-day excursion from Patch Barracks in Stuttgart to Strasbourg, France, to attend the annual Vignerons Indépendants Wine Fair. Organized by the Association of Independent Wine Growers of France—representing nearly 10,000 winemakers—this renowned event brings together producers from across the country to present their wines directly to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample and purchase wines at cellar-direct prices from celebrated regions including Alsace, Bordeaux, Bourgogne-Beaujolais, Champagne, and Cognac. With round-trip transportation provided, members can enjoy a full day exploring French wines together and purchasing bottles (or cases) to take home.

We meet early Sunday morning to take the short bus ride to Strasbourg. Spend the day tasting and purchasing wine at the expo, and then head home with your loot in the evening! There will be a pallet at the event and wine cartons can be loaded on the bus luggage area to transport all of your wine home.  This trip is generally for adults only (+16) and is not recommended for children.
