Definitely!
Eat at Pierot la Fou in Riquewihr. This is not expensive for what you get -
truffles, foie gras etc. The restaurant seats 8 only - a truly remarkable
eperience.
While in Riquewihr visit Roger Jung et fils. This is a very underrated
vineyard with some Grand Cru vineyards and makes excellent and affordable
wine.

Don't forget to go to the Musee Unterlinden in Colmar to see the Isselheim
Altar tryptych - one of the most important pieces of the Middle Ages. If you
want a fantastic meal, eat at Au Crocodil in Strasbourg - expensive, but
worth every penny. Forget about Auberge D'Ill, which I think is VERY
overrated.

Cheers and have a great time.
