An educational outing for every year group
At the Museum of Alsace Wines, pupils are part of the visit: they handle, smell and identify.
The class moves at its own pace
No guide to follow: the class stops where it likes and moves on when it likes.
Progress tracking
The audio guide launches the trail challenges and keeps each pupil's score.
Every pupil leaves with their diploma
At the end of the visit, each pupil personalises their diploma and becomes one of our Apprentice Winegrowers.
Two other museums to combine
Choco-Story and Wax of Legends are at the same address: combine them and make the most of your visit to Colmar.
For which year groups?
We welcome all year groups. As the trail is self-guided, every teacher takes from it what fits their syllabus.
Nursery & primary
Middle school
High school
Holiday clubs & after-school care
What pupils actually do
The trail challenges, alone or in groups.
The harvest and the treading
The vine wall lights up: it is up to them to grab as many bunches as they can. Then comes the treading, hands in the grapes, and a turn at the press.
The bottling line
First the barrels have to be stacked in the cellar, then the line gets going: filling, corking, capping, labelling. Each pupil holds a station, and the bottle moves along.
The aromas and the tasting
At the aroma counter, they have to name what they can smell. Then comes the tasting: several grape juices, chosen to echo the aromas of the Alsatian grape varieties.
The apprentice winegrower's diploma
Each pupil puts together their apprentice winegrower's diploma: a drawing, a background, their name. They print it at the terminal and take it home.
The delivery trike
Three routes along the Wine Route to explore: climb onto the delivery trike and the landscape rolls past.
05
Each challenge is validated by scanning the audio guide. Save the last terminal for the end of the visit: that is the one that prints the diplomas.

Welcoming the class
The class is expected: the teacher reports to reception and we take the group in, with no queuing at the desk.
Coaches & access
The museum is in the pedestrian town centre. Coaches drop off their passengers and park at place Lacarre or rue de la Cavalerie, the two locations provided by the city, around 10 minutes' walk away.
Our tips for a smooth visit
- Pupils stay supervised throughout the visit: bring one adult per sub-group if the class splits up across the rooms.
- The trail invites play, but not running: move calmly, for the comfort of the class and of other visitors.
- The interactive displays are made to be handled; the collection pieces in the display cases are not. The rule is easy to pass on: touch what lights up.
- In the shop, each pupil is accompanied by an adult to choose and pay for their purchases.
- Every pupil receives their audio guide on arrival and returns it at the end of the trail.
Frequently asked questions to plan your school visit
How does a school visit work?
The class follows the trail independently, audio guide in hand: pupils work through the apprentice winegrower challenges, taste a grape juice and leave with the apprentice winegrower's diploma they created. Allow 60 minutes. Nothing to prepare in advance: each pupil receives their audio guide on arrival.
What age is the visit suitable from?
Do pupils taste wine?
How many pupils do we need for the school rate?
Fifteen pupils or more. Below that, individual rates apply. The school rate gives −10% on the visit; the Duo and Trio Passes, which combine Vino Storia with Choco-Story and Wax of Legends, go up to −33%.
How many adults go free?
How do I book a visit for my class?
