FRANCE ON TOUR TASTING 2026
Saturday 4th July 6:30pm 12 pm - 2pm
Join us for a vinous journey across France as we follow the winding, mountainous, and sun-soaked route of the Tour de France—glass in hand. Just as the riders traverse the diverse landscapes of this iconic and arduous race, we’ll explore the wines from regions along the way, each bottle capturing the character and charm of its local terroir. From one of the world's most beautiful cities, Paris, to the rolling hills of Alsace and the mountain regions of the great alpine reached through to the Mediterranean south and onto Bordeaux and beyond, we'll be tasting through one of the most diverse ranges of French wine in one sitting that you are likely to encounter.
As we ascend through the Alps, we'll discover some new and rare treats not only in the form of wines, while the great southwest will give us everything from Bordeaux and juicy reds to cabernet franc from far-flung regional vistas, as well as some of the tastiest malbec you will find from its great southwest. Of course, it's sparkling to finish the sprint in Paris and this year even includes some Spanish Vermouth and Tragonan white to spice things up. The best part is that there are plenty more great wines to try while you are along for the ride.
Whether you're a cycling fanatic, a Francophile, or simply here for great wine, this tasting is a chance to experience the many faces of French viticulture, perfectly paired to the rhythm of the race. Allez!
The tasting is FREE but please book your spot online so we know you are coming.
