While fields, meadows and smaller forest areas predominate on the plateau-like terrain in the south of the municipality, the slopes gently sloping north to the Marne are planted with vines, which here take up every free square meter outside the development. The wines that are produced in Œuilly are mainly base wines for the champagne in the Vallée de la Marne part of the Champagne wine-growing region , but also still wines from the Côteaux Champenois appellation . The grape varieties Pinot Noir , Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay are grown . The vineyards, which slope slightly to the north, are protected from cold north winds by the Montagne de Reims .
