During this animation, you will discover how bees make wax and how these little workers use it. You'll also learn how we collect this precious beeswax and how it's used.
Your expert wine guide will explain how to look at, smell and taste wine. Through a series of sensory games and the tasting of 3 wines from the Vignerons Ardéchois, you'll learn all about the art of wine tasting!
During this wine tasting, you will discover our four "Les Confidentielles" cuvées, enhanced by exceptional products from the Ardèche. This moment will be an opportunity to share with you the philosophy of the estate and the principles of food and wine pairing.
Understanding wine ... even if you know nothing about it What's the difference between white, rosé and red wine? What is the best terroir for growing Chardonnay? What aromas are found in our main Ardèche grape varieties? What role do bees and bats play in our vineyards?

The "cellar" room, where you can find out all about the vinification and ageing of our wines. The "taste buds" room, where you can discover the aromas that blossom in our different grape varieties Our biodiversity garden, created in partnership with the French League for the Protection of Birds, will show you, on a smaller scale, our vineyard and its interaction with the biodiversity of the Ardèche.
