Famille HUGEL à Riquewihr

One of my favorite wineries in this region. Very old with long traditions. Dry wines are very good, but sweet and semi-sweet are totally the best. No tours around winery. Maximum the short presentation inside the shop, and tasting. But for me it was enough. The staff was still very helpful, and tried to give as much as possible information.

If you can only choose one place for wine-tasting in Riquewhir, then Famille HUGEL à Riquewihr is the place for you. More than 100 years of family history written all over the place; upon you walk into the shop, the wooden interior design gives you the feeling of authenticity. There's a whole-wall of important years' collections in the basement, which can trace all the way back to 1904. Make sure you taste the 2000 Pinot Gris, the sweetness is over 170, but you'll have the never-before smoothness in your mouth, basically it'll be the most delicious "liquid" raisin you'd ever appreciated.

Probably one of the better wine tastings I’ve had. Our host was very knowledgeable and told us not only about the wines we were tasting but also about French and German wine traditions which was a fun extra. Tasting was free and we ended up buying a Pinot Gris and orange wine.

Good wine ... but the staff was very bad. No explanation for us but only for French people .... just put the wine on the glasses , no bottle on the table to see , no description I m sommelier so I like one description about vigneron , wine and terroir... The customer experience is important when you speak about wine ... Just my opinion ... that's no good for our brand in your main shop

Good wines but surprisingly, the price online was lower (which I discovered after the purchase). That was a bit disappointing, even though I understand it is a tourist spot in the middle of Riquewihr. The lady who served us did not seem to have much idea about wines but it was nice that that the tasting was for free. Edit: After the response from the owner I assert the wines are cheaper online, around 1-2 € less, which is really strange. I could also provide a proof, if necessary.

One of the best wine experience in my life. So imformative, so heartly, so interesting, so tasty.

Staff were rude and dismissive of our group. Perhaps they had a long day? Maybe they don't like tourists? We had a small group of 6 wine loving friends who came to the region for the very purpose of tasting and buying in multiple places. This was our one and ONLY stop in this town for wine, and we were treated poorly and with contempt. While we did end up with a tasting, and we did buy some wine. Not as much as we could have or would have, because the staff were so rude!!! The experience was ruined by poor staff service and rudeness. We're an easy group to appease. In fact, many of us have lived in Europe collectively over 30 years. We know wine, we know customs, we have manners, and we know when we've been treated poorly versus misunderstandings. I'm sad because I've had to write this out and give a poor review. It's a tourist town, it's a wine tasting room, be sure to hire good people! We took home cases of wine from other places. We live close enough to recommend people and travel back. We will not be recommending this place or revisiting.

Amazing range of wines, their practice of giving a three flight from Classic to SGN for each grape varietal really helps you see the differences between grapes and the make for each grape. They were the most generous in terms of number of wines sampled, among the winemakers we visited in Alsace. The SGNs are fantastic. In terms of experience though, service was average. While prompt and pleasant, the lady hosting us didn't go very much into the family history or brand. Guidance for each course of wine was also cursory, comparable to your typical commercial vineyard tour. Nonetheless, would still recommend visiting this iconic winemaker in Alsace.

We are traveling the Rhine River this year for the Christmas markets. We were brought here by the tour group and given time to explore the town. Wanting to try the wine that they are famous for we searched out a place to sample. Several people suggested we try Hugel wines. We were greeted as soon as we entered by a friendly lady who offered us a chance to sample their wines. 2-3 tastes later we had picked out a bottle to take with us. The town it's self is decorated for the season and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and I'm sure we will have fond memories of a great time when we open the bottle we picked up

Loved Riquewihr. Loved tasting Hugel wines. The whole village was such a dream. Can't wait to go back.
