Cellar tours
Explore how wine is being made, literally from the grape to the glass. We explain you every step, different winemaking approaches and how terroir and technology impact what you will eventually taste in your glass.
An easy, fun and entertaining activity, this tour will leave you with new insights about winemaking and the beauty of wine. It introduces to different white, red, rosé and sparkling wine making techniques, explains the choices that winemakers can make and how these alter the profile of the final products. You will learn all about classical low intervention winemaking and how it differs from larger scale industrial winemaking. At the end of the tour, you will sit down in the cellar door and taste a couple of whites and reds, to discover how grape varietals and fermentation techniques help to get the best out of each berry. We speak English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese, although we will do the tours usually in English so as to allow a maximum of people to take part.
