About Katzenthal
Katzenthal: Alsatian Wine Village in the Vosges Foothills
Katzenthal sits in a narrow valley 8 km northwest of Colmar, in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace. The village is framed by the Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru vineyard — one of 51 Alsace Grand Cru appellations — planted on granite slopes above medieval castle ruins. Gewurztraminer and Riesling dominate the parcels. The resident population numbers around 600.
The Route des Vins d'Alsace passes nearby, connecting Katzenthal to Kaysersberg (6 km north) and Turckheim (3 km south). Small domaines including Domaine Albert Boxler and Domaine Clément Lissner offer estate tastings year-round. Autumn harvest season, running September through October, draws the heaviest visitor traffic. Colmar's half-timbered Petite Venise quarter is a 15-minute drive east.
