Maison ZEYSSOLFF
The ZEYSSOLFF family's presence in Alsace dates back to the 15th century. In 1778, Jean-Daniel ZEYSSOLFF, a winegrower in Gertwiller, in the heart of Alsace's vineyards, founded Maison ZEYSSOLFF. Since then, the tradition of vines and wine has been handed down from father to son for ten generations. All the grape varieties of Alsace are offered by Maison ZEYSSOLFF. In 1997, Yvan ZEYSSOLFF took over the family business.
The estate has been in organic conversion since 2018. For the past ten years, Maison ZEYSSOLFF has focused on wine tourism, opening its "Au Péché Vigneron" boutique beneath the family home. The boutique was completely redesigned and adapted to the public and the environment in 2015. In 2020, complete renovation of the tuns cellar, creation of a new vat room and installation of a scenographic area with 180° immersive video.
Maison ZEYSSOLFF also features a dining bar, a tea room, a delicatessen store, a sensory area and numerous wine-tourism activities for young and old alike.
