For 2026, Tour de Wines will be pairing the best wines with some of the best races in professional cycling. Whether it’s a spicy Northern Rhone or a dry Albariño, we will be pairing wines from the Grand Tours to the cobbled Classics. May your wines never peak and your rubber always stay down.

2026 Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne. 🍷🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Jouves & Croisille Cahors. Nothing’s better than seeing a rider take a signature win. Raise a glass to Matty Brennan, fire up the smoker, pour a Malbec, and plan out your spring BBQ strategy.

2026 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. 🍷🍷🍷/ 5🍷. Best paired with Dominio do Bibei ‘Lalume.’ Last year we went with an Albariño for the Loop, and this year feels no different. When watching MvdP storm up the Muur, grab a glass that explodes with notes of grilled pineapple, golden apple, honeysuckle, fennel, spice, and minerality.

2026 Tour Down Under. 🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Ngeringa Syrah. Even an errant kangaroo on the course can’t keep Jay Vine and UAE down from another win Down Under. Nothing better to nurse a post–kangaroo crash and Corkscrew than an Adelaide Hills estate Syrah with a rich palate of dark fruit and soft tannins.
