France

It’s hard to find an area of France that does not make wine. The country produces between 7-8 billion bottles of wine per year, and has 17 well-established wine regions. With highly-developed viticulture practices, wherever you venture in France, you can learn about France’s highly sophisticated winemaking methods.

Add to this, French cuisine—again, one of the world’s most cultivated. Spend up in a delicatessen and create the perfect picnic, explore wineries by bicycle, or take a french cooking class. France’s rich political, artistic and cultural history, and diverse landscapes, mean it is a country to spend plenty of time in.
