Fortunately, it’s actually quite easy now to visit France’s wine regions to discover its vineyards and wineries. The only problem is that there are so many regions to choose from!

Here are my recommendations for three must-visit wine regions in France.

Bordeaux

Sandwiched the Garonne River and the Atlantic Ocean in southwestern France is one of the world’s premier regions for red wine. The unforgettable chateaus of the Bordeaux region and beautiful towns such as Saint-Emilion make it a must-visit for wine lovers, and that’s without even mentioning the blissful wine tastings that you’ll surely experience.

Champagne

Did you know that this world-famous sparkling wine is actually named after a French wine region? Champagne is located east of Paris in northeastern France and combines picturesque windmills with rolling hills and some of the world’s most famous and delicious sparkling wines.

Burgundy

In Eastern France, south of Paris, you’ll find the wine region of Burgundy, which produces full-bodied red and white wines that are a joy to drink. Here, you’ll find plenty of vineyards that grow well-known varietals such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. If you go in fall, you’ll find the grape leaves unforgettable as they acquire fiery red and orange hues.

Ingredients: 

These champagne fruit jellies are made of everyone’s favorite fruits. The recipe is meant for 6 servings. Get 2 oz caster sugar, 5 oz of mixed fruit (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, peach), 16fl oz champagne, 10fl oz hot water. 4 leaves of gelatine. For the fruits, you can literally add any type that you prefer and like. 

Instructions:

Grab your six champagne glasses and let’s start. In a saucepan put the water and sugar and let them boil. Once that happens, you can lower the heat and let it simmer for five minutes. Get a large bowl, fill it with the champagne and add the gelatine. Leave the leaves in and once they become squidgy take them out. Squeeze them very well and put them in the sugar and water mix. 

Start mixing well, and pour the sugar syrup in the bowl with the champagne. Make sure to mix again to get an even liquid. Once it’s cool, put it in the fridge for an hour. When the jelly becomes thicker, include fruits in. You can now fill the glasses with it and let them stay in the fridge for six more hours.
