Tour De France: An Exploration Of France’s Wines

Cost: $30

If France is the spiritual home of wine, then this tasting is its grand tour.

Inspired by the legendary cycling race that winds through vineyards, mountains, villages, and valleys, our Tour de France traces a route through the country's most important wine regions, revealing the astonishing diversity that has made France the benchmark for wine lovers around the world.

From the chalky slopes of Champagne to the limestone hills of Burgundy, from the gravel banks of Bordeaux to the sun-drenched vineyards of the Rhône and Provence, each stop tells a different story. Climate shifts. Soils change. Traditions evolve. Grapes that thrive in one corner of France struggle just a few hundred miles away. Yet together they form a mosaic that has shaped how the world understands wine.

Along the way we'll explore the great grapes of France—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and more—while discovering how place transforms them into something uniquely French. You'll learn why Burgundy and Bordeaux inspire endless debate, how the Rhône produces wines of remarkable power and character, and why regions once considered rustic now rank among the most exciting sources of wine anywhere.

Like the race itself, this journey is about much more than reaching the finish line. It is about the villages, landscapes, traditions, and people encountered along the way. Every glass offers a glimpse into a different corner of France and a different expression of its culture.

Join us as we travel the wine roads of France without leaving town. No bicycle required—just curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to discover why France remains the world's most influential wine nation.
