Christmas wine villages in Alsace France, Kaysersberg, Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr

Christmas markets of three wine villages in Alsace, France including Kaysersberg, Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé are wonderful to visit during the holidays in December. These villages come to life with festive decorations, music, foods, and many people shopping in the festive atmosphere.The wines of Alsace are world famous especially white wines, the Rieslings, the Gewurztraminers and other varieties of white wine. Kaysersberg is a typical village name reflecting the Germanic heritage of this eastern region of France. We also visit an old castle up on a mountain, Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, originally constructed back in the late Middle Ages. Walking through the historic villages at twilight is a thrill, with the natural light of sunset in the background and Christmas lighting up the streets and shops. And how about some wine tasting? After all we’re at the wine villages and it's a great opportunity to sample their local variety of wines. http://tourvideos.com/
