Background
Formed in 1952, the Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr co-operative currently has 120 members. Situated around the village of Hunawihr, (9km northwest of Colmar) this co-op consists of family-owned winegrowers with a total vineyard coverage of 210 ha. The calcareous soil provides excellent vine-growing conditions. Located in the foothills of the Vosges mountain range, the region is characterised by undulating hillsides and very little rainfall.
