A glass of wine is more than a drink; it tells the story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the beauty of vast rolling vineyards. And there’s no finer place to embark on this journey than in France, where centuries of tradition have shaped some of the world’s most exquisite wines.
Each region in France has its own unique rhythm and distinctive flavours. A French wine-tasting tour is your opportunity to indulge in the best of French culture, explore the grand estates of Bordeaux, the intimate family-run cellars of Burgundy, and sun-drenched vineyards of the Rhône Valley.
For connoisseurs of fine wine, here are some of the best wineries to visit in France for an amazing wine-tasting experience.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux epitomises refined winemaking; prepare to be enraptured by its endless verdant vineyards, and historic châteaux that are symbols of centuries-old craftsmanship.
This region produces some of the world’s most coveted wines: deep, structured reds with exceptional ageing potential. A tour here means exclusive tastings at the Bordeaux Grand Cru estates and other private cellar visits for a sublime experience.
Burgundy
Embark on a Burgundy wine tour and taste the region’s famous wines, renowned for their intensely fragrant, light coloured, fruit-influenced wines with lower tannin-levels. In Burgundy, small family-run domains produce some of the world’s most sought-after Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.
Visiting Burgundy means exploring ancient vineyards, engaging in intimate Burgundy Pinot Noir tastings, and discovering the delicate, precise expressions of wines that reflect the essence of Burgundy.
Champagne
No French vineyard tour would be complete without visiting the birthplace of the world’s most famous sparkling wine. The chalky soils of this region give the wines their distinctive signature flavour.
The underground Champagne cellar tours are perfect for private tastings, savouring a glass of vintage Champagne with gourmet delicacies, and learning about the meticulous méthode champenoise that creates those perfect bubbles.
The Rhône Valley
The Rhône Valley is a diverse region that produces a wide spectrum of wines. Syrah dominates in the north with deep, peppery wines, while Grenache produces full-bodied reds with hints of ripe fruit and spice, in the south.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape boasts vineyards that have a rich history dating back centuries. A Rhône Valley wine-tasting tour is an immersive journey through time, where ancient stone wineries once created some of France’s most intense and complex wines.
The Loire Valley
Known as the Garden of France, the Loire Valley vineyards are a haven for those who love crisp, refreshing wines. The region produces an extraordinary range of flavourful wines, from crisp Sauvignon Blancs to luscious Chenin Blancs.
