Fodor's Expert Review Maison Chapoutier

One of the Rhône's great names and a leader in biodynamic wine-making, this is a stellar place for tasting and stocking up on all the best Chapoutier vintages from both sides of the river and around France. Tastings are free for parties of five or fewer, and an extensive program of workshops, evenings, and events pairing wines with food, truffles, and chocolate (many in English) helps you explore the full range of these world-class wines. Chapoutier also offers full- or half-day tours of the vineyards on electric bikes, with backpack, water, helmet, and snacks provided.
