What to expect
Gérald will guide you through the estate's working vineyard and into the cellar where fermentation happens. Expect a working winery—not a polished tourist facility—where the focus stays on how decisions at harvest and in the tank create flavour. You'll taste several wines, each one discussed in terms of what the grapes and process brought to the glass. Lunch breaks up the tasting and pairs with the wines. This is conversational and practical rather than formal.
Good to know
The tour involves walking on uneven ground and standing for extended periods. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. Wear comfortable shoes. The winery is small and informal; arrive on time as Gérald works with limited group sizes.
