Common mistakes
Do not pack only one type of footwear for a weekend that mixes walking and tastings. Comfortable walking shoes and smart-casual shoes serve different parts of the trip. Avoid putting tickets, travel ID, payment card, and small cash in euros into the rolling suitcase. This is a city break, so skip vineyard-specific gear that is not on the list.

Clothing is scaled for two nights: three daytime tops, two trousers, skirt, or dress options, three underwear sets, three sock pairs, and sleepwear. Cross off what you already own before packing.
Before you go
Confirm the hotel, La Cite du Vin ticket, and any tasting reservation details. Charge the phone, pack the charging cable and portable battery pack, and place ID, tickets, card, and cash in the crossbody bag. Check the forecast, then keep the waterproof jacket and compact umbrella easy to reach in the suitcase.
