Four-day Wine & Cognac Tour

Thursday 22 September 2016

,

During the four-day Wine & Cognac Tour of Domaine la Fontaine you’ll work along with the winemaker picking the grapes, you will visit a famous cognac house (such as Rémy Martin or Hennessey), a wine chateau, a craft coopery and of course you will get to taste magnificent wines and more. Early morning (on a voluntary basis) you will arrive at the vineyard where the wine farmer will teach you everything you need to know about the process from grape to bottle. And then you will start picking the grapes. You will witness the 'pressoir' in which the grapes are being pressed and squeezed to juice. Following that an extensive farmer’s lunch will be served in the winery, between the huge barrels filled with fermenting juice.

The tour program:

- 3 nights' stay, breakfast inclusive at Domaine la Fontaine

- a day with the vigneron at the vineyard

- fascinating visits of a cognac house and a wine chateau with dégustation (tasting)

- a gripping tour at the coopery

- all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)

- all wines with those meals as well as during the tastings
