Where to buy bottles to take home in Jura: cavistes, enotecas and specialist merchants.
A guide to wine retailers in Jura.
Caviste on Place Aubarede in Salins-les-Bains, run by Sophie, with Jura wines for visitors and monthly themed tasting evenings.
Tip: The shop runs a themed tasting each month and can open bottles from other regions alongside the Jura range.
Poligny shop of the Fruitiere Vinicole d'Arbois on the Grande Rue, selling the co-operative's range by grape across the Jura appellations.
Tip: The handiest place to buy a clavelin of vin jaune without driving out to Arbois.
Shop of Domaine Maire et Fils on Place de la Liberte in Arbois, carrying the house range in the line that Henri Maire built and running commented tastings.
Tip: Open all year Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 18:30.
Negociant house at Saint-Lothain that vinifies a large part of its Jura whites itself and ages the reds in its own cellars, with direct sale on site.
Tip: Saint-Lothain sits between Poligny and the Sud Revermont, an easy stop on the vineyard road.
Peak wine-travel season in Jura is spring through autumn, with harvest the standout window.
classified-growth and grand-cru estates require booking days to weeks ahead; smaller family domaines often take walk-ins midweek.
most estates open 10:00 to 17:00 by appointment, often closed Sunday and Monday.
tipping is not expected at tastings; buying a bottle from the cellar door is the customary thank-you.
Ask the next local you meet what they would order. Jura rewards trust.
