The 7 Best Hotels with Vineyards in France

Rivalling other great wine countries like South Africa, Australia, Chile and Italy, French wine is world-famous for its fantastic reputation across the globe. Even champagne can only truly be called champagne if it is produced in Champagne, France!

France has not missed out on this opportunity to attract wine lovers, though. There are numerous hotels throughout France which are connected to vineyards, where guests can experience locally-produced wine like never before. If this sounds like something that you’d be interested in, then read on to discover the 7 best hotels with vineyards in France.

Stay Among the Vines: 7 Amazing Vineyard Hotels in France

1. Coquillade Provence, Gargas

Sitting in the heart of the quiet commune of Gargas in Provence is one of the region's best hotels with a vineyard: Coquillade Provence.

Provence is known for being one of the best wine-producing regions in the country, in particular rosé wine, although it is also known for producing some excellent reds and whites, too.

The Coquillade Provence is a luxury hotel offering comfortable rooms, fine dining and, of course, incredible wines. Perhaps their most famous is their orange wine – not orange flavoured, but named after the colour of the southern French sunshine over their vineyards for around 300 days a year.

Take a trip through the breezy vineyards on foot during the day, and spend the evening sampling wine that was produced from grapes less than 100 metres from where you are sitting. A true gem in French wine country.

2. Domaine de la Soucherie, Beaulieu-sur-Layon

While Provence is known as a good wine-producing region, perhaps the most famous wine-producing region in the whole of France is the Loire Valley, and that is exactly where you can find the Domaine de la Soucherie.

In the quiet region of Beaulieu-sur-Layon in the heart of the Loire Valley, the Domaine de la Soucherie, which translates from French to English simply as the Soucherie Estate, produces some of the region's best wines.

Found approximately 20km south of Angers, guests can stay in one of two small accommodations (9 rooms in total): either the Maison des Amis (the Friends’ House) or the Maison des Vignes (the Vines’ House). Both of these hotels offer luxurious rooms, and because they only accommodate up to 18 guests at a time, you can rest assured knowing that you will have a quiet, relaxing holiday on one of the best wine estates in France.

Sip on an ice-cold glass of white or a hearty red under the sunshine next to the hotel’s stunning outdoor pool, all while enjoying the panoramic views over the Loire Valley. You’ll never want to leave once you arrive.

3. Château Meyre, Avensan

A four-star hotel with its very own vineyard in the heart of the Médoc region in Bordeaux sounds like a wine-lovers paradise – and that’s exactly what it is at Château Meyre.

The vineyard itself is one of the best – if not the best – in the region. The estate stopped using chemical products as long ago as the 1980s, and since 2008, the vineyard has been 100% organic, and these efforts are reflected in the quality of their wines. Sustainable and environmentally friendly, what more could you possibly want from an authentic French vineyard?

Furthermore, the hotel itself is only home to nine rooms, which means that while space is limited for large groups, it means that your stay has that extra personal touch to it, and the attentive staff can really treat each individual guest like a VIP.

The hotel itself is designed like a castle, with the comforts of a top-end hotel. This is ideal for any wine lover – a stay in a castle in Bordeaux – sign us up right away!

4. Château L’Hospitalet, Narbonne

Combining a vineyard, a hotel, a spa and a beach sounds like a dream come true – but if you open your eyes, you’re not actually dreaming – you’re at the Château L’Hospitalet in Narbonne, France.

You can take slow, meandering walks through their extensive vineyards, basking under the warm sun which helps their grapes grow as large as they do, making for rich, hearty wines.

28 of the hotel’s 41 rooms are suites, so luxury is always at the forefront of the stay. And in the hotel’s two restaurants, there’s no expense spared – there is no such thing as cheap cooking wine here – the wine they use in their homemade dishes is the wine they produce from their own vineyards on their 1,000-hectare estate. Good food requires good wine, after all.

Explore the estate at your leisure before returning for a top-class evening meal accompanied by wines recommended by the hotel’s extremely knowledgeable sommeliers.

5. Château de la Gaude, Aix-en-Provence

Tucked away in the glorious countryside of Aix-en-Provence is the Château de la Gaude, one of the best hotels with a vineyard in France.

Built in the home of an 18th-century manor house, the hotel offers a quiet escape from bustling French cities or busy southern beaches, all while being surrounded by acres and acres of pristine vineyards.

The hotel is rated five-star, and it’s little surprise why: top-end restaurants, incredible wines and surrounded by glorious countryside, you don’t even have to be a wine drinker to enjoy a stay here!

Decades and even centuries of research have gone into their wine production, and because of their location around 250-400m above sea level, this means that their grapes benefit from the unique microclimate of the region. In addition, because the vineyards reach such a high point, the views from the highest point (called ‘Le Capéou’) are simply breathtaking – and what better way to reward yourself for this climb than with one of their beautiful glasses (or bottles) of wine?

6. Château de Berne Hotel Spa, Flayosc

The South of France is known for its beautiful weather and stunning beaches, and thanks to this climate, it is also known for producing some of the best wine in the country.

The Château de Berne Hotel Spa in Flayosc, approximately an hour from both Cannes and Saint-Tropez, is arguably the best wine hotel in the region.

Surrounded by 500 hectares of southern French countryside, including vineyards and olive groves, this is a paradise for wine lovers. Over 150 hectares of the estate’s 500 are organic vineyards, producing some of the best wine in southern France, while the five-star hotel is home to a Michelin-starred restaurant, outdoor and indoor swimming pools and its very own spa.

Luxury goes to another level here – whether you want to snack on olives grown in the hotel’s own groves while enjoying a glass of their own wine sitting poolside on a hot summer’s afternoon, or simply want to wander through the vineyards at your own leisure, the choice is yours.

7. Royal Champagne Hotel and Spa, Champillon

Just half an hour from Champagne and within the champagne-producing wine region of Marne, northeast France, can be found the Royal Champagne Hotel and Spa – and if any hotel had a luxury name and vibe to it, this is the one.

“Come for the bubbles, stay for the journey” is the welcoming slogan that greets guests as they arrive at the hotel’s doors – and what awaits them inside (and outside) is even better.

Located in the heart of several vineyards, guests have the opportunity to explore the vineyards up close and personal by walking through them, or they can admire them from afar – and what better location than from the hotel’s own outdoor swimming pool, which makes for a fantastic viewpoint across the acres of vineyards below.

The culinary scene is also vibrant, with almost all of the produce sourced locally wherever possible – and when the hotel is surrounded by some of the best grapes in the world, you know that the wine and champagne that they produce are some of the best you’re ever likely to have the plea
