My name is Maxime REINHART, and I was born in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard.
With a degree in viticulture and oenology, I have spent 12 years sharing what the label alone cannot tell.
Today, I’d like to share this experience with you along the Alsace Wine Route, in Ammerschwihr and Orschwihr, visiting family-run wineries that craft expressive wines using biodynamic methods.
My goal: to help you discover the character of Alsace’s Grand Crus, without jargon, through a friendly, personal wine experience.
Whether you’re new to wine or simply curious to learn more, I adapt to your pace and help you discover wine in a simple and genuine way.
With a degree in Viticulture and Oenology, I bring 12 years of experience along the Alsace Wine Route to make the wine world simple and accessible.
My goal? To decode the complexity of the wine world, with no formalities, in a friendly and authentic spirit, whatever your level of knowledge.

My tours feature three family estates committed to Demeter-certified biodynamic farming.
AMMERSCHWIHR MARDI / JEUDI / SAMEDI
Etienne and Katia Simonis converted their 7-hectare vineyard to biodynamics in the early 2000s. An artisanal approach where every action is deliberate, measured, and undertaken only when truly necessary.
ORSCHWIHR LUNDI / MERCREDI / VENDREDI
Domaine Camille Braun has been cultivating exceptional terroirs through organic and biodynamic farming for over 25 years. Now led by Annabelle, this family expertise focuses with precision on revealing, in a quest for purity, the unique identity of each parcel.
WETTOLSHEIM DÈS AOÛT 2026
Born from the union of two winegrowing families, Amélie and Charles Sparr have been cultivating a mosaic of soils and climates biodynamically since 2017. Each vintage is a quest for authenticity, crafted without artifice to reveal the true character of its terroirs.
