Wittmann André et Fils

My fiancé and I stayed at Domaine Wittman (technically, their B&B is called Le Grenier Des Arômes Au Domaine Wittmann) in December while we were traveling through the Alsace region of France. Valerie was an amazing hostess and though she was not fluent in English (and by no means can we speak French), her friendliness and helpfulness was universally understood.
Domaine Wittmann is a 500 year old winery, a home to the Wittmann family, and a great B&B. We were immediately enchanted when we drove through the tiny hamlet of Mittelbergheim, with it’s narrow cobblestone streets and family wineries peppered around the town. We checked in inside their tasting room and were greeted with a little tasting of their wines, majority white and dry, and some Grand Crus. Valerie showed us around the property and then led us to a newly renovated section of the building. There is a brand spanking new kitchen with a wide open space, and upstairs (no elevator, so you’d better pack lightly, have some muscles, or your partner better be able to carry up your bag for you) are the 3 guest bedrooms, all ensuite. Amenities included flatscreen tv with a ton of channels, a separate toilet, brightly lit and cheerful bathroom with towel warmer, hairdryer, complimentary bottle of water. We were also presented with a welcome basket full of info and literature about the area (in English!), and recommendations for dinner.
Valerie also inquires what time you would like breakfast, so that it will be fresh when you go downstairs. The breakfasts were simple but delicious. There was a great spread of various fruits, cold cuts, a basket of bread and croissants, fresh tea and coffee, and homemade jams to die for. We looked forward to it every morning; it was so cozy to mull about and have breakfast in this pleasant kitchen (see pic).
We reserved through
and got a great rate. Our check-​out process was smooth. I loved their gewurztraminer, and we picked up a bottle on our way out. Another touching example of how warm and sweet Valerie was: when we checked out, she showed us a piece of paper she had printed out which said something along the lines of «I am sorry my English is not better but I hope you had a wonderful stay and happy holidays!» and gave us a tasty bag of homemade assorted Christmas cookies, along with a postcard of Domaine Wittmann. It’s rare to find hospitality like that nowadays, and we will definitely return if we are in the area again. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
