Introduction

On a course of about 8 kilometers, the Balade Gourmande of Beblenheim will make you discover our beautiful Alsatian village of 1000 inhabitants, its wine trails and its vineyard, all enhanced by gourmet stops (single menu).


At each stopover you will have the pleasure of tasting a dish and a wine from local production, all in an enchanting setting. In addition, festive entertainment will enhance your walk.


Every year, a theme is chosen. It is the common thread of the event. A competition is organized in relation to the theme. Groups of walkers are created for departures every 1/4 hour between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The paths are accessible to strollers and dogs on a leash are allowed (please refer to the rules on this subject). The event is organized by the Beblenheim festival committee and it is the volunteers of the various Beblenheim associations who will give you the warmest welcome.

 

The next Balade Gourmande of Beblenheim will take place on Sunday May 28, 2023. Are you coming?
