Party time with Alsace's new wine | The greatest destinations in the vineyards of France – France’s official wine tourism portal

During this harvest period, the region’s independent winegrowers celebrate one of the year’s highlights: Neier Siasser. Halfway between a fruit juice and a sparkling wine, this drink – made from the first pressing of the grapes – is lapped up by its fans every year.

Several tasting sessions are held on the estates over the course of a weekend where you can discover this special beverage as you nibble on local produce.
