See me…Feel me…Smell me…Touch me…Taste me……

New at Domaine la Fontaine: four days on Wine Tour 2.0.

We dive into the magical world of wine and everything that goes with it.

Class – this tour includes a lecture at a real École du Vin, a Wine School in Saint-Emilion. During morning hours we’ll get lessons from an expert teacher on the grape varieties and appellations of the famous Bordeaux region, followed by a 'dégustation' a tasting of different wines. 

Wine Chateau – We pay a visit to one of the finest wineries in the region, the famous Chateau de la Rivière in Fronsac, with 22 kilometers (!) of underground cellars.

Bottling Plant – We take a look into an ultra modern bottling plant, which gives us an idea of the technique of 21th century bottling, labeling, etc.

All Hands on Deck – Who’s in for a ride: we go picking grapes for an hour or so and the diehards can even go press their grapes barefeet.

Tasting – Of course we will do some tastings during these days. You will be offered various wines to qualify: different people, different tastes.

During the four-day tour we will have dinner in authentic French restaurants, at Domaine la Fontaine, or we might have a picnic on an idyllic location. It will vary from a sumptuous three-course dinner to an evening with tapas. Obviously excellent and appropriate wines will be served during dinners and lunches. With a stack of new knowledge, thrilling experiences and wonderful memories you will return home.
