Sebastian is a very personable man who made us feel extremely welcome and his English was excellent. The passion and history from Sebastian regarding his ancestry, the Château and his wine was superb. The tasting wines (of which there were 5) and accompanying foody bits were delicious. Thoroughly recommend.

A personal touch and family history are the key elements of this delightful experience. Don't miss it.

Nice experience

Richard_P, Sep 2023

The owner told us some interesting stories about the history of the Chateau and the vineyard. He then gave us sample of five wines from his vineyard and explained very well the differences in each. Very pleasant tour. Richard Pinder

Wine tasting

Rand_W, Oct 2022

Very memorable and very informative! The owners were really nice people! It was interesting to try the different wines and learning a bit about them.

Trop cher

Jose_T, Nov 2023

Visite du chais et des vignes super mais la dégustation plus que limite. Très peu à boire et à manger pour un prix de 46 euros par personne...

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Bonjour Monsieur, Merci pour votre avis. Nous avons dégusté 5 bouteilles ensemble, ce qui est plus que le standard. N'oubliez pas non plus que le tarif comprend le prix pour que nous prenions le temps de vous accueillir, de vous faire découvrir les différentes parties du vignoble avec explications, déguster avec vous, le prix des produits artisanaux, le temps de préparation des bouchées MAIS comprend également la commission que Viator/TripAdvisor, en tant que plateforme, prélève sur chaque réservation. Nous sommes cependant heureux que vous ayez apprécié la partie visite et les explications.
