Gîte l'Agapé

We thought it was closed but dang the bell as indicated in a sign. A lady came almost immediately and said we are welcome for a tasting. She was so nice and hospitable. It was fabulous for the price they charge, the serving was generous and we had one of the best wine tasting experience ever. I am in love with Alsatian wine now.

We popped in for a tasting without any grand expectations — just curiosity and a good mood — and Matilde instantly lifted the whole experience. Her warmth, spark, and effortless charm made us feel like we were being welcomed by an old friend rather than guided through a tasting. The wines were approachable, full of character, and never tried too hard to impress… which made us enjoy them even more. And with Matilde’s fun, light explanations, every pour felt easy, relaxed, and full of good energy. Nothing pretentious, nothing over the top — just genuinely good wine, Matilde’s glowing personality, and an atmosphere that makes you smile without even noticing. A simple visit that turned into a feel-good moment. Would happily go back for another round of discoveries!

Deeeeeeeeefinitely come and try their wine. The owners are amazing people and the room they rented us exceeded our expectations by far. Amazing space and views and very close to the town center. Their wine is amazing and we have felt super welcome. Lucky to have find this place. Plan to return.

We went there to taste and buy some wine. The guy running the shop could have been a bit more welcoming, but the wine was good and the place is very nice.

I enjoyed a fantastic tasting here with Antoine - very informative and delicious wines!

I visited only five wine tasting establishments in Alsace, so I can't claim this is the "best place in all of Alsace", but it certainly was the best of those that I visited (and most of the others were very good). The wines here were excellent. True to the spirit and soils of Riquewihr, but with some variety in style and technique The knowledge of my host, not only as to wines and winemaking around the world, but also on the depths of centuries of European and Alsatian history and culture, was most impressive and entertaining. I absolutely enjoyed my visit here, as well as the wines I purchased here. Also, if you are driving, the parking here is so much easier than places in the old village. Purchase all you want and carry your wines only steps to your car. I only wish I bought more. If the Rosacker is available...well, a better, more balanced and nuanced grand cru riesling may be hard to find. Unless you have the time to visit every winery in the Alsace.

We had a great time with Vincent. We just dropped in but he made time for us to chat through his wines. His passion and knowledge was great and he was very entertaining cracking jokes and telling stories as well as sharing his knowledge of wine and the region.

We booked a 1 hour tasting yesterday. This was a fantastic experience. The staff was kind, welcoming and answered our questions in a very professional way. We tasted 10 fine wines among which three were grands crus. We never felt pressured to buy at any moment. We were even taken on a tour of their factory and showed the labelling process. I definitely recommend this place if you are visiting the area !
