WINEMAKER FOR A DAY


This bespoke experience is tailor-made to suit your requirements, as well as to accommodate the season and the availability of our expert Vintner and Winemaker. Camille, Virginie, Jean-Louis, and Bénédicte will take you under their wing and into our vineyard and our winery for a meaningful day that combines theory and practice, calibrated to meet your interests.

  • Educational overview of vineyard work ahead of the site visit with Camille and the Caveau team.

  • Apply your knowledge in the vineyard, with a clip-board and a trowel, identify soil and vine characteristics of different plots and gather samples with Bénédicte or the team (depending on availability).

  • Depending on the season, learn about pruning, green harvesting, canopy management, water-stress management, organic and biodynamic practices, cover-crop and biodiversity management.

  • In the Fall, learn to harvest your own grapes and press them in the manual crusher, then stamp the grapes by foot.

  • Initiation to winemaking, followed by hands-on activity with Jean-Louis or Hugo and their team (depending on availability and season).

  • With a pipette, extract unfinished wines from the barrels or tanks.

  • Create and name your own blend and, if you wish, compete with others in your group for the best blend.

  • Our team will rate your wines and reward the winners with a special prize.

  • Enjoy your blends with a specially-prepared meal by Chef Victor.

€300.00 per Adult, including lunch served with wine – 4 to 6 Adults* (supplement for 3 Adults or less).

*We can accommodate larger groups, and younger children can take part in one of our kid-friendly activities.

Reservations required a week in advance, subject to the Vintner and Winemaker's availability.
