Wine Degustation, Visit and Masterclass in Chateau L'Eperon

About this tour

Spend 90 minutes at Château L'Éperon learning winemaking from owners who traded conventional careers for vineyard life. Walk through the production facilities and barrel room, then taste four wines whilst discovering how grape variety and technique shape what's in your glass. Pick up the fundamentals of flavour pairing and develop a working vocabulary for what you're actually tasting, rather than pretending to understand wine-speak.

Highlights

What to expect

The owners walk you through their vineyard story and the mechanics of what happens from grape to bottle. You'll see where the magic happens—the barrel room, the equipment, the spaces that smell of oak and fermentation. Then you'll sit down with four different wines. Rather than blind tasting mystique, expect straightforward talk about what you're noticing: colour, nose, palate. They'll show you how certain foods unlock different flavours in wine, and why pairing matters beyond tradition. It's hands-on enough to feel real, casual enough that you won't feel judged for not knowing Burgundy from Bordeaux.
