Sunsets Vignerons at Domaine de Fontenille

Vines have been grown at Fontenille since the early 17th century. The 39-hectare vineyard, which uses integrated farming methods and is certified organic, benefits from the latest winemaking techniques in a new cellar with traditional architecture. Domaine de Fontenille benefits from an exceptional terroir. The vines are managed in such a way as to minimise the need for treatments and to bring the grapes to the best possible ripeness, while respecting natural cycles. Discover this exceptional estate during a Sunsets Vignerons evening and taste its wines in a convivial atmosphere.

3 stages for 1 festive evening

You'll talk wine, terroir, grape varieties, cultivation, blends and pairings... all with passion and in three stages:

• 1 walk in the vineyards (30/45 mins)
• 1 visit to the cellar
• a wine tasting, accompanied by "local dishes"
