What is a wine cellar tour?

Open Days are special events where our winemakers welcome you to share their passion for wine. These festive occasions open the doors to France's most beautiful wineries on specific dates throughout the year.

Unlike a standard visit, Open Days offer you a complete experience: exclusive activities, meetings with producers, and entertainment for the whole family. Whether for a specific estate or during regional events such as "Wine Routes" or "Spring Wine Festivals," you'll enjoy an authentic immersion in the fascinating world of French viticulture.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover the behind-the-scenes of winemaking, from harvest to bottling, while tasting exceptional wines in a friendly atmosphere.

Who can participate in Open Days?

Open Days at our partner wineries are designed for everyone, regardless of your profile:

Curious beginner? Our winemakers will introduce you to the basics of tasting and help you discover your first food and wine pairings.
Knowledgeable enthusiast? Learn about blending techniques and explore the subtleties of our terroirs.
With family? Many estates offer activities suitable for children: treasure hunts in the vineyards, sensory workshops, and grape juice tastings.
With friends or colleagues? Book a group experience and share convivial moments around wine.
Tourist seeking authenticity? Immerse yourself in a centuries-old French tradition and leave with memorable souvenirs.
