Unique vineyard activities for sports enthusiasts

Don't think that the Castle Route is your only option if you're looking for more than just a tour of the winery and a tasting.

Les Grappes has found something for you that offers a nice change from the usual Sunday outings. Did you know you can take part in a grape harvest? And design your own bottle, from the wine to the label?

Unique excursions for athletes, the adventurous, and car enthusiasts are also on the agenda. Let's get started and take a closer look!

Wine tourism for the adventurous: grape harvesting in Alsace

For those who love to get hands-on and want to try something new, these unique activities are for you! Spend a day harvesting grapes in Alsace—what better way to experience the daily life of our beloved winemakers? That’s the adventure offered by Domaine Seppi-Landman. Next to a house built over 400 years ago, you’ll get to tour the vineyard, pick grapes, have lunch with the winemakers, pick more grapes, sample regional specialties, and learn all about this special time of year for the vines! For the adventurous and hands-on types who prefer to head further south, B-wine has unearthed a fascinating activity: Château Pape-Clément in Bordeaux offers an equally thrilling experience: a comprehensive tour of this renowned château, accompanied by the sommelier himself, a tasting of single-varietal wines, followed by blending these varietals to create a wine that must surpass the cellar master’s… Good luck!!! All lovers of hands-on experiences will be delighted by this activity! It doesn’t stop at blending, either, since you’ll also have the privilege of bottling your creation, designing your own label, and taking your masterpiece home with you!
