It’s no secret that France is the place to go for wine lovers. Every region you visit in the country has a locally produced drink, whether it be the seductive bubbles of Champagne, the delicate whites in Dordogne, or the crisp rosés coming out of Provence, one of the oldest winemaking areas of France.
If a vineyard stay is on your to-do list during your villa holiday in France, you’re in luck. Many of our villas in France are near to a winery, and some even have their own vineyard too! It doesn’t matter if you’re holidaying as a family or taking a romantic break with your partner, experiencing the wines of the diverse regions is a must-do during your vineyard stay in France.
We’ve rounded up our top holiday villas in France with a vineyard, including our favourite properties that are next to one as well.

During your stay, you’ll receive a tour of the estate, guided by the passionate winemakers who produce wine from the nine different varieties of grapes that are grown here.
