In July and August, every evening, a light show will illuminate the village. But visitors often start visiting Alsace and Riquewihr already in Spring, when the beautiful and famous vineyards (Sporen et de Schoenenburg are the local 'Grand Cru' and feature among the best wines in the world) are wearing their first leaves. In Fall, harvesting the grappes is another great period, with plenty of festivals and tasting opportunities. And finally, second to none, the Christmas period is a genuine fairy tale in Riquewihr.
