Do you like to picnic? Do you enjoy cellar visits? You will be able to combine these two activities this weekend by participating in the Winegrowers’ Picnic.
In Indre-et-Loire, the operation began this Saturday, May 18 and continues until Monday, May 20, 2024. The Chinonais and the Bourgueillois are participating in force in this event.
The participating winegrowers welcome you to their estate, offer to show you around (and taste a few vintages) before leaving you a few tables and sometimes even a barbecue, in the middle of their vines.
In Bléré, this Saturday, Bruno Curassier welcomed visitors to his farm for a tasting followed by a picnic.
At the La Grange estate, in Bléré, in the face of uncertain weather, the picnic took place in the winemaker’s cellar, this Saturday, May 18, 2024.
