The city
Mulhouse is a more industrial city toward the southern end of the Alsace corridor — the Alsace Wine Route's heart is often described as running between Strasbourg and Mulhouse (source: compass_artifact_wf-755602f0...). It is home to world-class museums: the Cité de l'Automobile (the world's largest car collection) and the Cité du Train (source).
The closest airport, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, serves the southern route (source), making Mulhouse a natural arrival or departure point for the southern half of the trip. See Guebwiller and Colmar.

Our notesSouthern gateway, not a wine base
An industrial city anchoring the southern end of the corridor, best known for its car and train museums and its airport. Treat it as an arrival point or a museum day, not a wine village.
Fly in here; museum-hop, then head north.
