Travel To France For The Wine
Without a doubt one of the top reasons for visiting this great European nation is for its wine. France creates more wine every year than any other country. In this article I have identified what I consider to be some of the top areas to visit when travelling to France.
If you want to mix your wine tasting journey up with some sightseeing then Provence is the place for you. You will find quaint little medieval villages, where Van Gogh once worked.
Get your white wine glass if you’re on your way to Alasace on the East side of France. You will find that the grapes that are grown in this particular region are the same as that which the Germans use in their own wines.
Head on over to Bordeaux and experience one of the biggest selection of red wines in the country, you will need a red wine glass at your disposal. Bordeaux does in fact also produce some lovely and sweet white wines. Bordeaux has a coast on the Atlantic and exports a lot of wine to other nations around the world.
You can travel to the Burgandy area if you want to sample both the red and white wines that the country has to offer both of which are produced on a large scale in the area. Burgandy itself is sometimes thought of as its own region and produces mainly red wine. In this region you can find the only wine produced that can be drank within the same year; Beaujolais Nouveau.
When you talk about wine from France everyone knows about Champagne. The region is also the coldest of the wine producing provinces in France. Of course the region is most famous for its sparkling wine however still wine is still produced in this area as well. Make sure you use a proper Champagne glass to help you get the most out of this wine tasting experience.
If you head over to the Loire Valley you will find mostly white wines, which are predominantly grown along the side of the Loire River. The Upper Loire valley is produces the popular wine Sauvignon Blanc.
Hopefully this article has given you some ideas of the best places to visit to suit your wine tasting preferences when you travel to France.
