Unusual activities in the vineyards for sports enthusiasts & the adventurous!

Don't think that the Wine Route is the only option: if you're looking for more than just a cellar tour and tasting, Les Grappes has found something to break away from the usual Sunday outings. Did you know you can take part in the grape harvest? And design your own bottle, from the wine itself to the label? Unique excursions for the sporty, the adventurous, or car enthusiasts are also on the agenda. Let's go, let's take a closer look!

Wine tourism for the adventurous: the grape harvest in Alsace

For those who love to do things, those who want to try new things, these unusual activities are for you! Spending a day harvesting grapes in Alsace —what better way to experience the daily life of our beloved winemakers? This is the adventure offered by Domaine Seppi-Landman. Next to a house built over 400 years ago, you can take turns visiting the vineyard, harvesting grapes, having lunch with the winemakers, harvesting again, tasting regional specialties, and learning all about this very special time for the vines! For the adventurous and hands-on who prefer to be further south, B-wine has found a fascinating activity: Château Pape-Clément in Bordeaux offers an equally exciting experience: a complete tour of this renowned château, accompanied by the sommelier himself, a tasting of single-varietal wines, and then blending these grape varieties to create a wine that must surpass the cellar master… Good luck!!! All lovers of experiments and test tubes will be thrilled! It doesn't stop at the assembly either, since you also have the privilege of bottling your composition, creating your label and leaving with your creation!

Discover Champagne in a different way: by 4x4, mountain bike or vintage cars

Oenovasion offers activities and excursions for all tastes! In a luxury 4x4, for peace and comfort, you can explore the most beautiful vineyards of the Champagne region! If you're more adventurous (and athletic), a mountain bike tour will take you right up close to the vines, and you can take the most winding paths to navigate between the Champagne houses. If you want to combine Champagne with classic cars, you can also do that, as a special circuit is designed for those who want to play James Bond! All packages include a Champagne tasting in the heart of the vineyards, as well as a genuine explanation of the unique character of the Champagne terroir!
