Touring campsite in France in/around vineyards?

Hi ladies,
I'm wondering if anyone has stayed close by vineyards in France, ideally that we could cycle to? We are taking our caravan to France again this year and would love some recommendations. We are a family of 4 and our youngest is finally cycling competently and really want to get out and about on all the fabulous cycle tracks. We are away for almost 3 weeks and usually pick medium sized sites with entertainment for the kids in mind , however, this year (and being wine lovers!) I'd love to book maybe 3 nights somewhere we could take in a vineyard tour and tasting or two. I've done some research and some vineyards even have entertainment for the kids but I'm struggling to locate campsites. I'm open to traveling to all areas but ideally not right down south. If anyone has any experience or recommendations I'd love to hear them.
Thanks in advance!

It’s probably too far south, but this is a fairly small campsite which actually has its own vineyard. Every night during the summer there are free guided tours. www.massereau.co.uk There’s a large pool with a couple of slides and in the summer there’s a kids club. At the top of the sites there’s a restaurant and also a pizzeria during the high season. As well as having it’s own vineyard, it’s got an Adventure Parc with high ropes. For cycling, you can’t get much better than the beautiful Green Path www.massereau.co.uk/65-activities/339-caveirac-sommieres-green-path.html
Domaine d’anglas is an amazing campsite but, again, it’s probably too far south! There’s a 6km wine trail from the site and they hold open evenings and tasting sessions during the summer. We loved the river and little sandy beach

Have a look at the Alsace wine route - not sure about a suitable campsite though.

Thank you both for the recommendations, they sound great. Going to take a good look at them now. I love the south of France, but we did a lot of driving last year and hoped to do less this year, however, if the campsite (vineyard!) fits, then so be it ;)
