Winner of the 2020 Wine Tourism Trophies Golden Prize in the “Stay at the domain” category, Domaine d’Anglas is home to a 4 star wine-camping site.

Nestled in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Chêne Bleu is the winner of the 2020 Wine Tourism Trophies Golden Prize in the “Gastronomy in the vineyard” category.

In the early 1990s, when the ninth century priory was just a ruin, husband and wife team Xavier and Nicole Rolet fell in love with Domaine de la Verrière and decided to not just renovate it completely but also add a wine cellar and open a guest house.

From April to October, Victor Guérin, a young international chef specialising in “Provençal-Japanese” fusion cuisine, delights visitors with his dishes, each a perfect match for the estate’s wines. The produce is local and often grown on site.

All year round, Chêne Bleu organises numerous wine tourism activities, including tasting workshops, and “apéro bleu” drinks every Wednesday during the summer months!

Domaine de Rocheville is the Winner of the 2020 Wine Tourism Trophies Golden Prize in the “Corporate Wine Tourism and Private Events” category

It was in 2005 that this estate, with a panoramic view of the Loire and its shifting landscape, caught the eye of entrepreneurs Agnès and Philippe Porché.

Although they initially produced their wine in a friend’s cellar, in 2014 they acquired their own, capable of hosting a wide range of events thanks to its large reception room equipped with a kitchen and an extensive terrace overlooking the vines.

With help from wine tourism professionals, they opened to the public so visitors could discover their profession, winegrowing, vinification and learn the art of wine tasting.

In 2023, Domaine de Fontenille won the “Exceptional Offer” prize of the Wine Tourism Trophies in the "Gastronomy in the Vineyard" category.

Just two hours south of Paris, and on the left and right banks of the Loire des îles, a gourmet and energetic adventure awaits visitors in search of a two-wheeled journey of discovery.

What better place to start the trip than the Coteaux du Giennois wine region? Setting off from the Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire tourist office, the vineyards of Pouilly meet alongside the Loire river. Along the way you’ll have to climb the famous hill- whitout to many efforts - to reach the winemaking village of Les Loges, an essential stop for any visitor.

Further on, La Tour du Pouilly-Fumé is another highlight of the trip. Those eager to discover more about wine will learn how to taste the local white wines like a pro before climbing the steps of the Belvédère de Saint-Andelain to admire the vines that stretch as far as the eye can see.

At this point, keen cyclists will seize the chance to leave the signposted loop to reach Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire via the La Loire à Vélo cycle route and the Piton Sancerrois, where a new 42 kilometre loop, also signposted, awaits. Supporting material can be picked up from the Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire tourist office. For a less taxing trip, it also provides electric bike rental, as does the Pavillon du Milieu de Loire in Pouilly-sur-Loire, and Cycles Sancerrois in Saint-Satur, not far from Sancerre.

From July to September the area’s flagship summer event, It’s Wine Time, offers entertainment and wine tasting three evenings a week in the three appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé and Coteaux du Giennois. On Thursday take a trip to the Loire’s beaches, on Friday it’s time to visit a site laden with history and on Saturday, stroll through the vines and explore the delightful winemaking villages to learn more about the region’s terroirs and grape varieties, and the local approach to tending the vines.

A trip to Sancerre, Pouilly and Giennois guarantees relaxation and fun, whether you visit as a couple, family or with friends. And to take advantage of special offers on all activities why not pick up the Wine Pass, available at the Tour du Pouilly-Fumé, the Maison des Sancerre and in tourist offices located in each of the three appellations!

There are many roads, and there is A road …

The road we choose, which guides us instinctively to new ones. The one made of meeting, discovering, tasting, feeling, fresh air, unexpectedness or catching unforgettable moments. In Saône-et-Loire, find your way on the Road71-Southern Burgundy.

Cellars, finest tables, charming Romanesque villages, outdoor activities, historic heritage, various accommodations … take the Road71 and experience Southern Burgundy !

Duché d’Uzès, Tavel, Lirac, Clairette de Bellegarde, Costières de Nîmes… Names that evoke the gastronomy and iconic produce of the Gard region, from truffles to olive oil and wine!

On the right bank of the Rhône, the Gard vineyards of the Rhône Valley, with their 11 AOPs and 3 IGPs, are an expression of terroirs that are influenced by the river’s geology and climates, round pebbles and the mistral. Here, grape varieties such as Bourboulenc, Roussane, Marsane, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsaut produce wines of character.

While these vineyards contain diverse landscapes ideal for hiking, canoeing, cycling, and river tourism, the land has also been enriched by the men and women who have passed this way in years gone by. Unmissable sights include the Pont du Gard, a masterpiece in Roman architecture and engineering, the strollable town of Uzès, and also Beaucaire and Nîmes, cities of art and history with a rich and colourful historical and gastronomic heritage. The Abbey of Saint-Gilles, included on the UNESCO World Heritage List due to its ties to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route, is also worth an extended visit.

But for a complete immersion there’s nothing like a unique experience to discover local know-how and titillate the taste buds.

Reason is why Château Mourgues du Grès and its connected winemaker's trail are a must. Visitors can stroll between vine, garigue and orchards as they watch videos that detail estate life through the seasons and learn about its diverse environment. There’s also a chance to enjoy a tasting of organic wines among the vines and savour a winemaker's picnic featuring local seasonal produce.

History buffs can travel back in time in the ancient Sernhac tunnels that run from the Pont du Gard aqueduct. They’ll be joined by the owners of Domaine de Poulvarel, who will open their modern cellar, built from Pont du Gard stone, and ensuring the optimal temperature to age and store the wines. For the full experience and a perfect refuge, head to the heart of the village and Les Aires Passagères – awarded the European Eco-Label – for self-catering gîtes and bed and breakfast.
