Prepare a two-hour vineyard visit in Solérieux

The vineyard walk costs €20 including VAT per person per hour, subject to a quotation and a confirmed appointment. A preferential offer for a group may be considered after you contact us. The quotation states the total price, programme and applicable child prices; free admission for children is not advertised. A tasting may be arranged for adults. This walk is separate from truffle hunting with the dogs in the truffle groves.
What should your first message include?
Provide one or two possible dates, the number of adults and children, your interest in tasting and any relevant route requirements. Groups are limited to 40 people in total, including adults and children. Visits are mainly in French: mention another preferred language from the outset. A short message is enough, without identity documents or participants’ personal details. Request a vineyard visit so the estate can prepare a reply; the form does not confirm an appointment.
During a vineyard walk, start with what you can see: which grape grows here, and what work is planned this season? If a tasting follows, ask how those grapes feature in the wine’s blend. Your guide can connect the plant, the work and the bottle.
The day before: check the appointment and what to bring
Visits are possible every day, only with a quotation and a confirmed appointment; your date must still be agreed with the estate. The visit is cancelled if it rains. Read the confirmation again for the time and meeting point. The visitor address is 637 route de Bigary in Suze-la-Rousse, but exact access to the plots is confirmed before you come. Choose footwear for paths and suitable clothing. If you have another activity that day, allow travel time and tell the estate when you need to leave.
