The origins of Savoie wine date back to Antiquity, when Pliny and Columella were already praising the vines of Allobrogia in the 1st century AD. Today, despite a modest area spread over several departments (Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Is\u00e8re, Ain), the Savoie vineyard<\/strong> stands out with its four AOCs, twenty-two crus and twenty-three grape varieties. In the heart of the Alps, between grand panoramas and authentic terroirs, local winegrowers<\/strong> open their doors along the Savoie Wine Route<\/strong> to share their passion, all a few hours’ drive from our campsite in Savoie<\/a>.<\/p>\n
