Wine Tourism
Workshops
To be interested in a fine wine is to pay homage to the thousands of hands and hundreds of hearts that have worked the earth and tended the vines to enable this treasure to take form and delight your tastebuds.
Our instructive and enjoyable Workshops, on themes that appear in our Museum of Arts and Crafts of Vines and Wine, will open new horizons to you.
You will learn about the vocabulary of wine, the wealth of our terroir and traditions, and how to identify and describe aromas and your own tasting sensations.

Workshop of the Senses
Experience the essence of our wines, by listening to your senses…
A moment when you are invited to discover our estate and our winemaking methods but, above all, the different stages of wine tasting through visual, olfactive, gustative and somesthesic stimulations. Emotion guaranteed! You can identify all of these sensations during a vertical tasting of four vintages of Château Maucaillou.
At Maucaillou we are strongly attached to tradition, and so we take pleasure in offering a glass engraved with the arms of the Château for you to take home.
This visit lasts around 2 hours.
Tarif depending on the number of participants, from 35 euros.
Booking is required.

Grapes and Blending Workshop
Discover the specificities of each of our grape varieties, through three experiences:

Then meet the challenge of identifying which of these three grape varieties has been used in the chocolate that has been specially made for the tasting. Enjoy!
