Trend: Having your hen party in the vineyards

You've been chosen as a bridesmaid for your best friend's wedding —congratulations! After the excitement, laughter, tears, and countless thank yous, it's flattering in the moment… But with a little hindsight, your smile fades as only one word comes to mind: ORIGINALITY! Well, yes! A bachelorette party is a must before getting married. To help you out, here's a great idea for a bachelorette party (as they say): A day in the vineyards!

Wine regions to choose for a hen party

It's best to spend this day in the sun, for the sake of your feet (avoiding mud) and for your friend's enjoyment. For this, consider the southern regions of France, such as Languedoc-Roussillon or Provence . The landscapes are magnificent, and vineyards are everywhere! With a train journey from Paris that only takes 3 hours, you'll quickly arrive at your destination.

What to do upon arrival?

After dropping off your belongings at your friend's place, in an Airbnb, or simply in a hotel, get together and plan a little itinerary for them. Why not invent a treasure hunt or an obstacle course themed around vineyards and wine? Write little notes like charades, rebuses, or riddles. Get creative!

D-Day

Put on your boots (you never know!), blindfold your friend, and drive her to the heart of a beautiful vineyard… one you've scouted out beforehand. You'll have done some research beforehand on grape growing, the different production methods, and the appellations to impress her! Perhaps also plan a wine tasting at one (or more) local cellars, a horseback ride, a 2CV tour, or a Segway tour through the vineyards. Be imaginative and make her dream.

To end your "bachelorette party" day, bring a good bottle of wine, some glasses, and toast to the sunset; your friend will remember it for a long time.

And also remind him that

“ Love is like drinking the same wine, but each from their own cup. ”
