You can visit without knowing grape varieties or tasting vocabulary. Reception at 637 route de Bigary in Suze-la-Rousse is by confirmed appointment only. The vineyards are located notably around Solérieux. Request a vineyard visit, with or without tasting; the content is agreed before the appointment.
What can you discover in the vineyards?
Plots are located notably around Solérieux. Depending on the agreed route, a visit can cover soils, grape varieties and seasonal work. Côtes du Rhône and Grignan-les-Adhémar are distinct appellations; check the one shown on the bottle presented.
What happens during an introduction?
Observing the colour, smelling the wine and describing sensations helps build a simple vocabulary. You can ask questions and spit out the wine. Tasting is for adults only; mention in your enquiry if you would like a visit without tasting.
Planning your visit
Visits are possible every day for up to 40 people in total, including adults and children, only with a quotation and a confirmed appointment. The visit is cancelled if it rains. In your vineyard visit enquiry, send your preferred date and the number of adults and children. Confirm the duration, price including VAT, guiding language and access arrangements before travelling. Wear footwear suitable for paths. The website’s translations do not guarantee that visits are guided in all four languages.
