Wine tasting and visits to Sancerre

Yes, wine tasting at our Estate boutique is complimentary, with the exception of our single-vineyard wines, which are available for tasting at a rate of €5 per person. Throughout the year, you can discover our Sancerre cuvées, explore the aromatic profiles of our terroirs through Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, and purchase bottles to accompany your meals or serve as lasting memories of your stay in the Sancerre vineyards.

No, reservations are not required for wine tastings at the boutique. You are welcome to visit freely during opening hours. This flexibility makes it easy to include an oenological stop during your stay or weekend in the Cher region, whether between a walk through the vineyards, a visit to Sancerre or Chavignol, or an exploration of the vineyard routes.

Several payment methods are accepted for purchases in our boutique: credit/debit card, cheque and cash. This allows you to take home your favourite bottles following your tasting experience.

Yes, booking is strongly recommended for all our wine tourism experiences: the Cellar Tour, the Geo-Sensory Tasting Workshop, and the Privilege Vineyard Tasting. As places are limited, advance booking allows you to organise your wine-focused getaway or holiday in the Centre-Val de Loire region with complete peace of mind.

Bookings can be made directly online through our website via the dedicated pages for each wine experience. In just a few clicks, you can choose your activity, check availability and select your preferred time slot. It is the easiest way to plan a vineyard visit or wine tasting experience in Sancerre.

The experiences offered at our Sancerre estate last between 1 and 2 hours. Pricing varies depending on the experience selected and is detailed on each dedicated page.

All our experiences begin at our Estate boutique in Chavignol. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before the start of your activity to ensure everyone can fully enjoy this immersion into the world of wine.

Wine tastings in the boutique and the Geo-Sensory Tasting Workshop are accessible to visitors with disabilities who are accompanied, although sanitary facilities are not accessible. The Cellar Tour and the Privilege Vineyard Tasting are partially accessible.

Yes, children are welcome at our Estate. However, wine tastings are reserved for adults. For the Geo-Sensory Tasting Workshop, colouring activities and books are available for younger visitors.

No, pets are not permitted on the Estate. As this is a working winery, hygiene and safety requirements must be strictly respected.

Comfortable clothing is recommended. For vineyard experiences, please wear closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven terrain and dress according to the weather conditions. In the cellar and winery buildings, temperatures can be cooler, so bringing a sweater or jacket is advisable, even in summer.

Yes, free parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity of the Estate, along the street. Whether you arrive by car or bicycle, access is easy for a visit with family, friends or as a couple in Sancerre.

No, there are currently no charging stations available at the Estate itself. The nearest charging point is located at Market Sancerre, approximately 4 minutes by car from the village of Chavignol.

Yes, photography is permitted so that you can keep memories of your wine experience and of the iconic landscapes of the Sancerre vineyards.

A visit to our new winery, inaugurated in 2025, is an excellent introduction to the world of wine. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at our winemaking process and provides insight into our work as Sancerre winegrowers, combining tradition and innovation. Complete with a tasting of Sancerre wines and Crottin de Chavignol cheese, it is a must-do experience during a stay in the Cher region.

The Sancerre vineyards can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering a different perspective on the vine and wine. Our winery tour and Geo-Sensory Tasting Workshop are ideal in all weather conditions, including rainy days or periods of intense summer heat.

For a truly original wine experience in Sancerre, our Geo-Sensory Tasting Workshop offers a unique approach to terroir. This immersive experience engages all your senses to help you understand the influence of soil on Sancerre wines. Another memorable activity is our Vineyard Tasting Experience in Chavignol, where you can enjoy some of our rarest cuvées directly in the vineyards where they originate.

Take time to discover Sancerre, its medieval hilltop town and the Maison des Sancerre visitor centre. You can also stroll or hike through the vineyards before tasting AOP Crottin de Chavignol cheeses, one of the region’s culinary treasures. For a nature getaway, explore the banks of the Loire on foot, by bike or by boat, or visit attractions such as the Jardin de Marie. Of course, Bourges and its Saint-Étienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are also well worth a visit.
