Blending workshop and tour of the chateau

About this tour

Spend two hours at a French chateau learning the art of wine blending, then bottle your own creation to take home. After exploring the vineyard grounds, you'll work through the layering process that turns separate vintages into a balanced whole. Under guidance, you'll taste components, make blending decisions, and walk away with a personalised bottle that's genuinely yours—not a souvenir, but something you've made.

Highlights

• Blend your own wine from multiple vintages
• Tour the chateau vineyard and production areas
• Taste components before creating your blend
• Bottle and label your personalised creation
• Take home your finished wine

What to expect

The experience begins with a walk through the chateau grounds to understand how the vineyard operates and where the grapes come from. You'll then move into the blending workshop where the real work starts. Rather than following a recipe, you're given latitude to combine different vintages in whatever proportions appeal to you, tasting as you go. A winemaker explains what's happening—acidity, structure, aging potential—so you understand your choices rather than just guessing. Once you've settled on your blend, you'll bottle and label it yourself. The whole thing takes around two hours and leaves you with a tangible result.
