Maison Lissner

If you know anything about France, then you probably know that it's the land of wine and bread, If Jesus made his way here i'm sure it was one of his favourite places to be.
 With that being said, Studying in France means we do a lot of wine and beer tasting, and by a lot I mean at least once a week.

One Winery that has been super nice to us is Maison Lissner. Since the first week of arriving in France, Maison Lissner was the first winery we were able to wine taste. We have also had the the chance to go to their brewery and see how they process the wine from beginning to end.

A reason why I like Maison Lissner compared to the other wineries we visited is that it's a family business and has been in business since the town it's build in has been founded. The owner Bruno is the 8th generation in his family to own the brewery and he hopes to keep up the tradition and pass it on to his son Theo, who helps his run the business.

Maison Lissner is located in Wolxheim, Strasbourg France.
The city of Wolxheim is a city full of wine vineyard owners, and the whole city shares a 20+ acres of land where they grow their grapes. 

Something that makes Maison Lissner different from the other wineries that we have visited is that they still follow the old fashion way of making wine. They still mostly use wooden barrels to put the wine in for fermentation, instead of the metal ones and they don't disturb the natural essence of the wine, they allow it to flow down to the cellar once the grapes are crushed and any tress and unwanted substance is taken out.

We Also like them because they always give us a lot of wine to taste.
