Visit and tasting at the Villa METEOR in Hochfelden
Are you a beer lover or looking for new discoveries? Push open the doors of Villa METEOR for an exceptional visit and tasting! Located in Hochfelden, in the heart of Alsace, this independent, family-run brewery, dating back to 1640, invites you to immerse yourself in the world of brewing. Discover the entire process, and taste the craft beers brewed here! From raw materials to tasting, beer-making will hold no secrets for you.
With 4 centuries of activity under its belt, Brasserie Meteor is truly one of the jewels in the crown of French brewing heritage. For 8 generations, the HAAG family has preserved the know-how of this independent brewery, while continually innovating to produce top-quality beers. It’s a passionate and meticulous approach that has made the company a benchmark for craft beers, right up to the present day.
This 90-minute tour will take you through 7 stages, each with a rich and unique content. Start by exploring the garden and its raw materials, before discovering the 17th-century family home and its intimate memories. Then enter the greenhouse, home to the 19th- and 21st-century laboratories, and discover the courtyard of honor. Its spectacular brewhouse is sure to fascinate you!
A cellar allows you to see how time transforms green beer into yellow gold, before the filtration stage. The machine room, meanwhile, will take you back in time to the hectic rhythms of the industrial epic. Finally, you’ll round off your visit at the bar, where the barman will welcome you for a convivial tasting of Meteor beers. For minors or those who don’t like beer, a Meteor organic lemonade with Menton lemon is also available.
