Description

Discover the world of wine with a visit to Domaine de Soustres. Learn about the history of the estate and the surrounding area, the vineyard's terroir, and the different grape varieties.
Discover the secrets of wine and winemaking on an immersive tour of the Domaine de Soustres. Learn about the history, landscapes, and behind-the-scenes of the estate. Enjoy a wine tasting at the end of the tour.

Begin with an introduction to the estate, a place where history and nature meet. Through maps and stories, gain a better understanding of the landscape as you discover hectares of vineyards, olive groves, and the must-see sites in the surrounding area.

Immerse yourself in the world of the vine. Learn to recognize the physiology of a vine, the stages of grape cluster development, and discover in detail the grape varieties grown on the estate.

Learn about the annual cycle of the vine and the training work that helps preserve the quality of the grapes. Be amazed by the diversity of natural elements that contribute to the cultivation of the vines, from the leaves (vines) to the roots.

Next, learn about the terroir and its crucial importance in the quality of the wines. Whether through the natural elements that compose it, or through the human work that shapes each plot, each aspect of the terroir plays a determining role in the expression of the aromas and the personality of the wines.

Once immersed in the world of vines, take a journey through the winemaking process, including the cellar. Discover the essential steps: from harvesting to pressing, from fermentation to aging in vats, before understanding the work in the cellar that transforms grapes into wine.

Throughout the course, children can also take part in fun and interactive activities, combining amusement and discovery, to awaken their curiosity while learning the secrets of vines and wine.

To conclude the experience, enjoy a tasting of five wines with explanations. Throughout the introduction to tasting, nibble on local specialties. For younger visitors or those who don't drink alcohol, a tasting workshop featuring artisanal syrups will offer an equally delicious experience.
