About this tour

A curated exploration of what this corner of France does best.
Highlights
- Four exclusive cuvées showcasing different Ardèche terroirs

What to expect
You'll begin with an introduction to the estate's approach to viticulture and winemaking. Each of the four wines arrives paired with a carefully selected local product—perhaps a regional cheese, cured meat, or preserved delicacy from producers the château trusts. Between tastings, staff explain how each terroir influences the flavour profile of that cuvée, and why certain foods enhance or complement specific wines. It's conversational rather than formal; expect to ask questions and sample at your own pace over the two hours.
