The price of vines in Alsace since 1991

Updated on 25 July 2023

As we do every year, we update our articles on the sale prices of vineyards in France and more specifically for the Alsace vineyards located in the Bas-Rhin (67) and Haut-Rhin (68) departments.

You will find wine estates for sale on our site. You will also find vineyard plots for sale in the Property category. Finally, if you are interested in buying shares in a Groupement Foncier Viticole, you can also visit the Property category.

Data source : The data used in this article comes from statistics published by the SAFER relating to plots larger than 70 ares (7,000 m² or 0.70 hectare) and which have been statistically processed by Agreste (the statistical department of the Ministry of Agriculture) and then published in the Journal Officiel in the Barème indicatif de la valeur vénale moyenne des terres agricoles en 2022.

As mentioned, these market prices are purely indicative and in no way oblige you to buy or sell at the rates indicated. If you look at the details of the minimum and maximum values shown, you will see that prices generally vary widely. However, they should be taken into account to avoid any pre-emption with a price revision by the SAFER.
