Top Wineries in France

Check out the art installations scattered throughout the property. They're amazing! I didn't expect it and spent a good hour just exploring them.

My advice is to book a wine tasting experience in advance. It was completely booked when I arrived, and I missed out on a fun part of the visit.

I suggest getting there early, around 10 AM, to avoid the crowds and have a peaceful stroll around the grounds. It's way more enjoyable without too many people around

Be sure to ask about their special tasting options! I stumbled upon a limited wine that was amazing, but I almost missed it because I didn't inquire

I recommend bringing a light snack. The tasting can last longer than you think, and it's nice to have something to nibble on while enjoying the wine!

My advice is to check if they have any seasonal events. I went when they had a festival and it made the experience way more fun and engaging.

Plan to spend some time exploring the tasting area after your tour. I discovered some delightful limited editions there that aren't available elsewhere.

I recommend booking your tour in advance, especially during peak season. It gets super busy, and we saw people turned away because there were no spaces left

I suggest checking out the little wine shop inside the City of Wine before you leave. They have cool stuff at prices way better than souvenir shops in the city.

I suggest checking out their wine tasting schedule before you go. I almost missed out on a special tasting event, and it was awesome! Plan ahead to enjoy everything they offer.

I think it's smart to book your tour in advance. I went without a reservation and ended up waiting an hour just to get in!

My advice is to try the tasting menu. It's pricier, but you get to sample some exclusive Cognacs that blow the regular ones out of the water.

Make sure to explore the gift shop after your tour. You can find exclusive items and special bottles that aren’t available elsewhere. I picked up a lovely souvenir!

Bring a reusable water bottle. It can get pretty warm, and they kindly refilled ours while we were sampling wines!

Check if they have any special tasting events or discounts before you go. We stumbled on a flight promotion that made it super affordable!

I recommend visiting during the week rather than on weekends. It was way less crowded, and we had more personal attention from the staff.

If you want to save some cash, try to visit on a weekday. The weekend crowd can really hike up the prices for tastings and tours, and you get a more relaxed vibe during the week.
