We are looking for great wineries, restaurants, bars, and just things to do in the region. We will likely have 4 days there before heading down into Switzerland. We love wine, people watching, traditional food and drink, anything that just is a good time. If there are any wine festivals or events that are a dont miss, we would love that. We will be there in the fall, so if there are harvest/crush events that is great.
We are not huge fans of museums. Castles and small traditional towns are both great
Alsace (France) Baden-Baden (Germany) Freiberg (Germany) Mulhouse (France) Colmar (France) Basel (Switzerland)
I suggest you to come in my town of Selestat Region Haut-Koenigsbourg.
You can visit small traditional towns and lots of wineries, walk in wineyards, rent bikes to discover the Region.
You can have a look on this Region on my site:

Just take a trip on the Alsatian wine route: Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, and so many more villages to go to. 106 in fact! Wine producing capital is Colmar. Make sure you try the Crement d'Alsace!
