Food and Wine Trips in France made for you
Incredible cuisine and delectable wines
Experience the richness of the country’s exceptional gastronomy on a France food and wine tour
France‘s expertise in food and wine is globally celebrated, and widely seen as unmatched. Gastronomy here is an artform – and just as the French landscape transforms dramatically as you explore its regions, so does the menu.
Discover Provence with its purple lavender fields and fresh produce of tomatoes, olives and fragrant herbs, featured in dishes like ratatouille and bouillabaisse. Explore the rolling countryside of Burgundy with robust red wines and traditional fare including coq au vin, beef bourguignon and escargots. Or, enjoy a wine tour of Bordeaux to sample its famous blended red wines and dry whites, along with oysters and mussels.
In Lyon, dine on specialities like quenelles, sausages and tripe, and sample light, fruity Beaujolais wines. In Champagne, toast its sparkling white wine at family-run cellars and vineyards, and in The Loire Valley – the “garden of France” – try white wines that pair beautifully with the regional dishes served at its fairytale chateaux.
And then there’s the unsurpassed elegance of Paris, with its boulangeries and Michelin-starred neighbourhood bistrots. In the chic capital, soak up the enviable French culture from a sidewalk table with un café, a small, strong espresso.
Our expert team will arrange tastings at exclusive wine estates, bespoke culinary tours, reservations at the best restaurants and cookery classes with renowned chefs. Our travel designers take care of the details to ensure that your food and wine trip in France is curated to your tastes and preferences.

A word from one of our experts
On a tour of France it’s often the little things that stay with you the longest – people watching from a sidewalk cafe, winemakers welcoming you like family, eating local produce at a rustic table under trees in dappled sunlight. We can plan you a slow travel trip that includes these special moments.
