About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in a French winery blending your own wine from different grape varieties, then take home your bespoke bottle with a custom label you've designed. You'll taste your way through the process with a selection of cheeses, cured meats and chocolate to guide your palate as you craft a cuvée that suits your preferences exactly.
Highlights
- Mix and taste grape varieties to create your signature blend
- Design and apply your own custom label to the bottle
- 75cl bottle of your finished wine to take home
- Tasting board with French cheese, charcuterie and chocolate
- Professional guidance throughout the blending process
What to expect
You'll work with a winemaker who explains the characteristics of each varietal before you begin experimenting. Using a mixing board, you'll combine different wines in small quantities, tasting as you go, adjusting ratios until you've landed on something you genuinely like. The supporting foods—local cheeses, cured meats and chocolate—help cleanse your palate between tastings and highlight different flavour notes. Once you've settled on your blend, it gets bottled and sealed. You'll then customise a label with your own design to complete the bottle. The whole experience is unhurried and hands-on rather than lecture-based.
