About Chablis

Famed for its dry white wine, the charming Burgundy town of Chablis is also a burgeoning holiday destination. Expect undulating hills sown with rows of well-established vines and a lovely riverside community with heritage shopfronts, hotels and exceptional restaurants. Brilliant for couples or groups of friends travelling together, our pick of the best places to stay in Chablis promise chic interiors and fantastic food — right in the heart of town.

The Chablis area prides itself on having some of the oldest vineyards in France, where Chardonnay grapes are cultivated on both banks of the Serein River in soil rich with fossilised oysters. For a real insight into the wine production process and the region’s history — closely tied to the wine-growing monks of Pontigny — embark upon expert-led tours and tastings. Chablis Vititours, La Chablisienne, Domaine Laroche and others are fabulous places to begin your journey of discovery. Beyond the wine, there’s hiking, cycling and horse riding, as well as historic churches and intriguing boutiques to admire.

Venture towards Auxerre for world-famous mustard and history, or Avallon for the architecture — both are a short drive away. Come evening, pair crisp glasses of wine with flavoursome market-bought produce, or kick back in the trendy eateries of the best places to stay in Chablis.
