Every Season has its Advantages

summer

During high summer, the vines are beautiful and green. Sun is shining; it is very comfortable to enter the dark and cool wine cellars.

The flowering and the change in colour of the grapes during the summer months, will give you an idea of the coming vintage!

winter

A calmer season where the chateaux have more time for visits. The vines are naked without leaves, reflecting beautiful coppery colours through the sunshine.

There is a wonderful serenity in this season.

spring

Everything is waking up, so do the vines. The climate is most often nice and mild, the colours green and fresh.

During this season, you may taste the wine sold “en primeur” (unfinished wine sold as forward).

autumn

The grapes are ripe and the vines take the colours of autumn.

The pickers work hard to collect the harvest, in the wine cellars the grape juice bubbles and is, through the fermentation, being transformed into good wine, characteristic of it’s vineyard and area.

Inside or outdoors, seize a privileged moment of sharing and intimacy in an idyllic setting.

With more than 9.000 chateaux, there will be a large choice to fascinate you.

Meeting the people

Taste the production of the chateau you visit, directly from the barrel or from a bottle in the cellar.
