Activities

At the château

Make yourself at home in the château and tune into the pace of nature.

Immerse yourself in the life of a wine estate; learn about our terroir, grassed vineyards, various grape varieties and, of course, the art of wine-tasting.

Laze by the pool, stroll through the gardens and enjoy a pre-dinner drink and game of boules, or treat yourself to an organic grape detox during the grape harvest season.

In the evenings, after a good massage, meditate, read, play cards, solve all the world’s problems on one of our terraces, or by the fireside.

We can also recommend a host of walks and bike rides starting from the château.
