When you’re looking to try a new activity, there are a few great reasons to schedule a private wine tasting or wine in the vines experience at the château or adventure out for an offsite wine tour with our vineyard partners.
The Château de Valcreuse sits alongside the colorful cabernet sauvignon vineyard. The history of the vines are as fascinating at the château itself. The former winery has left traces: the wine press has been preserved, as well as a concrete tank on which are inscribed the dates of 1898 and 1904. Schedule a private tasting in our château tasting room and take a walk through history.
If you are lucky enough to catch an opening in late September you might have an opportunity to join the wine harvest!
