Wine Tourism: Activities to Offer at Your Estate

To attract new wine tourists, winemakers will need to diversify their offerings to provide visitors with a tailored experience. The stakes are as high as the increasing wine tourism figures!

Wine Tourism for Sports Enthusiasts

For the most enduring, jogging is an ideal activity! Over 21 or 42 kilometers, you can enjoy the open-air landscapes crisscrossed by vineyards. Running through the heart of the vineyards? Highly recommended! Those seeking a more moderate pace might opt for a hike or a bike ride, a more relaxing alternative. To discover a region's wine heritage while getting a workout – winemakers couldn't offer a better proposition. Numerous sporting events are organized annually in our wine regions; take advantage of them!

Interested in organizing a corporate seminar amidst the vineyards?

For your corporate seminars, winemakers also tailor their offerings to your specific needs. Depending on the group size and meeting format, you can:

attend conferences led by industry experts and seasoned oenologists. This will provide an opportunity for attendees to grasp viticultural techniques, from vine cultivation to bottling,
participate in workshops. Hosted by cellar masters or the winemakers themselves, you will have the opportunity to nose, taste, and analyze the producer's vintages.
take part in a wine blending workshop. Under the expert guidance of oenologists, you will test, blend, and label the bottle you take home!

Whether for team building, new employee integration, or a seminar, you will emerge transformed from your wine tourism stay!

Culinary Tourism Experiences

In exceptional, sometimes centuries-old, venues, the winemaker offers high-quality services tailored to your preferences:

Experience life as a château owner for a moment. During your stay, immerse yourself in château life, surrounded by vineyards. In an idyllic setting, you will enjoy the tranquility of our countryside and the quality of life it offers. Depending on the packages offered, hosts provide breakfasts, spa treatments, or regional cuisine.
Discover food and wine pairings. While winemaking is an art, expertly pairing it with the appropriate dish is another. During special tastings, sometimes blind, you will learn to harmonize the often complex characteristics of wines with the flavors of complementary dishes.

One thing is certain: gourmet tourism amidst the vineyards is highly endorsed!
