Wine and cycling
If you are looking for a nice glass of wine then it's great to drive the wine route and stop at wineries to taste the wines from this region.
The Haut-Poitou is a small wine region north of the city of Poitiers. Wine-growing dates back to the third century, but was mainly developed by Dutch wine traders who transported wine from this region and the Charentes to Flanders and Holland in the seventeenth century.
The climate is under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and provides wines with sufficient freshness and aromatic intensity.
Wines of the Haut-Poitou
The region of the Poitou-Charentes is less known as a wine region, and so we want to introduce you to the many wine farmers in our region.
The Haut-Poitou wines are well known, have an AOC inspection (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) and are spread over an area of approximately 800 hectares and 40 counties in the Poitou-Charentes.
You can follow a wine route to meet the many families who have made their craft of their passion or you can read below the possible visits that are at your fingertips.
In addition to the visits and guided tours of the vines and the business, you can also enjoy a variety of different products from every family. A PDO or PDO is definitely recommended!
The Poitiers region offers the most options for combined visits as a day trip. Within a 15km radius of Poitiers you will find 6th wine-growing areas worth visiting.

The French Véloroutes are cycling routes of medium and long distances.
They travel safely through urban areas and beyond on quiet roads, forest paths, railways that are no longer in use or hikes along the water. The construction of these green cycle paths has looked at three key points: protection of the natural environment, attractiveness for tourists and low traffic density in the cycling areas. These routes take you to the maison de tourisme.
