Secrets of Terroirs
Explore and visit of the terroirs of Châteauneuf- du-Pape followed by an introductory workshop in wine tasting including Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
« The grape variety is the first name, the terroir is the family name »
Léonard Humbrecht
During this partly outdoor wine workshop, we will help you to understand how to solve the mystery of the identity of a wine through the geological of its soil and microclimatic nature of its terroir.
Indeed the grape variety brings some specificities to a wine, but the most important remains the environment in which this grape variety grows.
With this wine workshop you will understand why the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cru is both one of the most famous and undoubtedly the most singular of the Crus in the entire Rhône valley.
We will taste several wines whose DNA revealed by the visit of the terroirs will no longer hold any secrets for you. Through this wine workshop you will understand why a wine is first and foremost a terroir (a soil, a climate and finally, but at the end only, a grape variety…).
Informations pratiques :
- Duration : 2 hours
- From 4 to 20 people maximum
- Price: from €35/person (incl. tax)

« A people’s cuisine and wine are the only exact witnesses of its civilization. »
Marcel Rouff
During this partly outdoor wine workshop, you will learn to solve the mystery of the identity of a wine through the nature of its terroir. We will taste several wines from our wineyr and suggest that you pair them with dishes in order to reveal the true nature of a food and wine pairing.
Be careful, received ideas will fall! We all have habits: habits of thoughts, skills, rituals, values, beliefs. And if it is nevertheless true that Food & Wine pairings are also a matter of taste, there are nevertheless fundamental rules to respect.
We have studied for you and in direct partnership with cheese makers and delicatessens (Selection of delicatessen and cheeses direct from the various french regions and producers, Savoie, Jura, Auvergne, Drôme Provençale and Provence des Papes), subtle food & wine pairings that will delight your taste buds, after this experience you will no longer be the same wine taster.
