Wines and wine areas near Paris
Names to look for on a tour itinerary or a wine list:
- Champagne
- The sparkling-wine region around Reims and Épernay, a day trip from Paris by train.
- Bordeaux
- France's famous red wine region in the south-west, best reached by train and a local tour.

How to pick a good wine tour
- Count the wineries: three tastings in a day is comfortable; five turns into a rush.
- Check whether lunch is included. A long tasting on an empty stomach is the most common complaint.
- Small-group and private tours can change the route; big coach tours keep to a fixed schedule.
- Harvest season brings the most activity at wineries but also the busiest roads and cellar doors.
