What to expect
Expect a leisurely three-hour ramble through Colmar's old town, moving between specialist shops and producers rather than sitting down for a meal. Your guide reveals how Alsatian cooking evolved from medieval times to today, connecting dishes to the very streets you're walking. At each stop, you'll taste what's on offer—sometimes a glass of wine, sometimes a pastry—in small quantities designed to build appetite rather than satisfy it. The pace suits all fitness levels, and the walking is manageable even for those with young children in tow.
