French wines are widely regarded as the world's best even by professional oenophiles. But that doesn't come close to describing the thrill and enjoyment of France wine tours. The vast scope of producing regions, vineyards, wineries and their talent at coming up with magnificent wines is incomparable.
A visitor on one of these trips has a whole new world awaiting discovery. Sipping champagne from the comfort of one's home is very different from tramping around in Champagne, exploring the vineyards and tasting the offerings of every cellar in the region. A Paris day trip can easily end up as a culinary and tasting expedition into the Loire Valley or Champagne-Ardenne.
Nothing is more French or closer to the heart of oenophiles than a walk down the Avenue de Champagne. It's just as easy to drive over or bike to the producers in the Alsace region. Free tastings for everyone are the norm here, so the tours just hop around and give people a taste of all the good things the region is famous for.
But the best option for vino lovers who want to head out of Paris for a day is without any doubt the Loire Valley. The lush green slopes and hillsides dotted with vineyards and castles looks like something from a bygone era. The tour guides on these trips are oenophiles and very familiar with every vineyard and all the wines each producer has to offer in the region.
People arriving by train from Paris will be picked up at the station and whisked away for a day of discovery and tastings. Commentary along the way in English helps people understand and learn the history of the region. Those who want to do this at their own pace may ask for individual guided trips custom-designed based on their likes and budget.
The die-hard winetripper, so to speak, has many more options a long way from Paris. For example, Bordeaux is a three-hour train trip from Paris. Just decide to stay back for a couple of days or more and explore the region at leisure. Those willing to devote the time it takes can expect a highly memorable culinary weekend or week discovering the Bordeaux wine regions like Medoc and Saint Emilion.
Bordeaux also offers the chance to go off the beaten track in terms of tour options. It's possible to combine visits to all the vineyards with stops at Michelin-starred restaurants and cheese shopping sprees. Visitors may just as well take a harvest tour as part of a luxury chauffeur-driven guided trip where they learn about the incredible hard work that goes into creating one good bottle of wine.
All this is just a small part of all the exciting possibilities. Every region from Burgundy to Provence, Corsica and the Rhone Valley has its own specialty tour experiences and superb wines awaiting discovery by visitors. Just pick one or more based on the budget and time available, and decide the kind of French wine tour it should be.
