Description
We'll first head into the vineyards in a beautiful terroir in the foothills of the Luberon, where I'll explain viticulture in general and the terroir of the Luberon in particular.
Then, in the winery, I will show you the different stages of winemaking, from the grape to the bottle, explaining the differences between the production of 'conventional,' 'organic' and 'natural' wines.
You will then taste several vintages, either bottled or directly 'from the barrel,' in order to appreciate the different terroirs and grape varieties.
I will then explain how wines are blended, and you will then be able to create your own blend using a pipette and a test tube.
You will then have the opportunity to bottle your own personal cuvée, seal it in the traditional way (and possibly wax it), and finally label it so that you can take it home as a souvenir or enjoy it in the evening with friends.
