As well as finding out all about the know-how, it involves enjoying a friendly atmosphere with the harvesters, living at their pace between the rows of vines and sharing their daily lives for half a day.
The experience continues in the winery with a presentation on sorting grapes, the vinification steps and then a tasting. A complete programme for your first harvest. Let's bet it won't be your last.

Harvest tasting with Domaine Besancenot

If the pruner puts you off, don’t worry - Thérèse and her team of winegrowers welcome you to Domaine Besancenot to discover the work of the harvest. Because cutting the bunches of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir isn’t the only stage of the harvest. At the wine estate, little hands patiently wait for the tractors and their trailers to return, to sort the grapes and prepare for winemaking.

From 15 to 25 September, Domaine Besancenot invites you to experience "behind the scenes" of the 2021 harvest. Visit the winery for an explanation of what goes on in the vat room and how the work is done, and you’ll discover all the secrets of excellent wine.

Your tour of the vineyards is part of the programme. Also planned: tasting of 6 wines with charcuterie board and traditional gougères (cheese pastries), a little extra from Thérèse Besancenot - she loves gougères!

  • Dates: Sunday 28 august
