France's wine-growing regions are brimming with more creative ways to showcase their cuvées, terroirs and winemakers than ever before. Gone are the days when a visit to the vineyards was limited to a winery tour followed by a tasting and wine and food pairing. The wine regions are now packed with fascinating activities that offer special moments of delight for couples, families or friends.

Winalist offers 600 wine tourism activities across France. How does it work? In just a few clicks, the website provides real-time access to the calendars of over 400 winemakers and wine estates so you can book a trip from the comfort of your own home. The activities are categorised by region and theme and cover both traditional and more unusual experiences.

So curious wine fans can, for example, spend a day at Hameau Duboeuf in the Beaujolais region. Here they’ll get to visit Europe's and France's first wine theme park. More intrepid travellers can climb aboard a hot-air balloon and sail over the parcels at Château de Pommard and the Burgundian countryside, shaped by the hands of countless vine-growers. If you prefer to stay on terra firma, Château Prieuré Marquet offers visitors the chance to explore the Bordeaux region’s vines in an original 1957 Willys Jeep! At Château Frombauge, lovers of the finer things in life can create their own Bordeaux blend to wow dinner guests back home. Finally, over in Champagne, adventure seekers can head to Maison Pannier to solve the escape game clues in the estate’s underground passageways...

These experiences, and a host of other surprises, await wine lovers as they discover the world of wine in France's wine regions.
