Secret vineyards and exceptional terroirs
This excursion immerses you in the intimate world of wine châteaux in the Presqu'île d'Ambès and Lalande-Pomerol. Far from standardized tours, we visit human-scale estates where passionate winemakers cultivate their land biodynamically, blend vineyards and orchards, and produce wines in their image: authentic and generous.
