“Le vin est la lumière du soleil captive dans l'eau.”- Galilée
"Wine is sunlight held together by water." - Galileo.
Our very first design, the French wine puzzle highlights the country’s key wine-producing regions, main grape varieties, and star appellations. The beautiful hand-drawn map of France was carefully curated by our very own favourite sommelier and we have also included grape profiles describing aromas, key characteristics, and food pairing tips! Illustrated by hand, our team attentively reviewed every detail with the help of some of the top sommeliers in the world.
Stunning, mindful, and informative, it is so much more than a puzzle: you will learn one thing or two about wine, of course, but also about French geography, as you start playing your way into the world of wine.
For every item sold we will plant one tree and make a donation to improve global access to safe drinking water. We want to make puzzles you can feel good about.

I bought the Italy and France puzzles for my wife who is an avid puzzler. She is also taking her sommelier courses and these puzzles have been very helpful in her studies as she needs to learn all the regions and grapes for both countries. The quality and feel of the puzzles are outstanding. Looking forward to ordering other countries!

Love the France puzzle. It’s challenging, but a great way to learn more about the regions of France and the wines. Thank you.
Matt H.
Enjoying the puzzle thanks…
April J.
Beautiful and high quality puzzles
andrew c.
Very good puzzle, perhaps only tiny criticism is pieces are not as solid as the best producers, but still better than many.
Caroline B.
A lot of thought has been put into the design and each and every aspect of the map. The puzzle is good-quality and learning the wines and regions as you go, is great fun. Will definitely be telling my friends about it!
Isabel R.
I love your puzzles!!I have France and California. I showed the puzzles to the owners of our local wine store, Dare Bottleshop, Stockbridge,MA, and they also love them- they want to carry them in the shop!
E. A. Z.
Purchased as a gift. Very pleased with delivery time and tracking notifications.
Sandy W.
I have not usually found puzzles engaging but there is something about the combination of geography and wine, and the great detail and colour that make this intriguing and fun! Highly recommend.
Aron V.
This puzzle brought us so much joy over the holidays. In this year without travel, it was so therapeutic to do a puzzle of all our favourite French wine regions! We had the puzzle displayed on our coffee table and any guests that saw it remarked on the vibrant colours and beautiful graphics. The puzzle is high quality material. We also bought Italy to complete next! I would highly recommend these puzzles to any sommelier friends, anyone who loves wine or wants to learn more about the regions and varietals.
Emma S.
Completing this was addictive and fun - who knew a dog in a boat wearing sunglasses would be so hard to find?! I learned a lot about where my wines came from and had a lot of fun. I also bought 'Italy' and don't dare open it yet as I WILL lose three days, but I'm dying to start. Once completed I left it out for four days as I couldn't bear to break it up. A great gift for wine drinkers and wine tourists everywhere.
Diane S.
As always good detail and quality
Benedikt B.
I bought it as a birthday present for a friend who loves wine and it was very well received. Also it was delivered in less than a week, which was perfect as well. So all in all, very nice experience will order here again for sure.
Jason Y.
Really nice puzzle (we'll frame ours). All the pieces have a great feel to them. Extra touches with the larger paper map and ability to hold up the box. Def. will get other countries and use these as a gift for others.
Monique A.
I am a wine lover, not a puzzle fan. However, this one caught my full attention and I loved working on it! It is beautiful and educational. If, it was not so expensive (with shipping cost to Canada) I would purchase another one right away. Great for the stormy days of winter!

Kristan J.
We love all of the puzzles from Water & Wines! Not only are they fun to do, but we learn so much about each country and their wines. The puzzles themselves are beautifully crafted and extremely well made. Having the big map to follow is a GREAT bonus! Keep 'em coming!

Jacques M.
Great quality and fun educational puzzles. Keep them coning
Monica V.
Such a fun concept! We enjoyed seeing the places we have traveled (France and Italy) and will travel (Portugal) and learning more about where the wines are from! The quality of the puzzle was spectacular as well and us older puzzlers really appreciated the full size poster!
Amanda M.
Absolutely loved this but slight problem - I obviously dropped a couple of pieces and our mini dachshund thought they were snacks. Keeping Scotland for when we are in situ without them!
Anne B.
Beautiful puzzle; not too difficult; a nice learning tool as well.

I have given the puzzle to my friends who are going to France....they are delighted!
Chris C.
The France|Wine Puzzle arrived in a timely manner and as it was packaged well, in perfect condition. We looked at your website and your company ethic resonates strongly with us. While I think the order process does provide advance notice to expect possible extra customs charges, this never-the-less surprised me and it is a good idea to consider that in the overall cost as ours approached $100 CAN with shipping taxes and customs. That said, the quality is good, the puzzle interesting and unique, and now the only remaining thing is to finish and confirm all the pieces are there!
PS. We won't hold you to eternal gratitude, but appreciate the sentiment. Good product; good company; good customer service.
David E.
I was very impressed with the puzzle product. In particular, I was also pleasantly surprised with the speed of its delivery.
Elida M.
High quality, exklusive giftbox, beautiful picture .
Sophie R.
Quite easy puzzle, nice to work on. Also challenging to see the names and think where it should go into the map without using the example.
Martyn L.
There were problems with the delivery but Water and Wine were extremely helpful in resolving the matter. I haven' started the jigsaw yet as I was keeping it for Christmas.
Vanja L.
The puzzle is on the expensive side and it takes quite a while to arrive. That being said, it is excellent quality and they really thought about the extra stuff like the poster, box holder and extra wine glass info. Id order more if they were slightly cheaper.
Petr L.
I bought it for Christmas evening, so I will do photos later,
but I am happy of your puzzle and we will order more of them.
You are great and nice company.
Have a nice time

It's quality time with family and at the same time getting reacquainted with the wine regions. And over a bottle of CDP! Perfect

Andreas A.
It was a gift.

I’m a puzzle person and this is truly the nicest quality puzzle I’ve ever had — bracket for holding the box cover while I work, and an actual size poster of the picture. Arrived quickly and very carefully packaged. It was fun to see where my favorite wines are from!
Helen N.
I am satisfied.
Joyce K.
Loved the beautifully designed puzzle! Very vibrant and colorful! Quality is excellent! One of the best puzzles I've collected.

Would probably not buy otter countries than Franch - but I would buy another puzzle with only Burgundy if you create that one day
Anna P.
Très belle qualité de pièces, elles sont épaisses et solides donc on peut le faire et refaire à loisir !! Les couleurs sont vives , je compte l'encadrer la prochaine fois que je le ferai !! Le délai de livraison est respecté, je recommande tout simplement.
