Stroll through the

Oenotourism at Mons La Graveyre: “Enjoy a unique moment through a winemaking experience while being surrounded by vines, the forest and the river”.

 

Aurélie Carreau, wine maker, oenologist and owner of the Château Mons La Graveyre welcomes you to go on a bucolic walk along the vineyard nestled between the forest, overlooking the Garonne River.

She will introduce you to her organically and biodynamically cultivated vines and the many other crops planted on the estate (downy oaks and fruit trees). Throughout the walk, as Aurélie shares her knowledge, you will get a better grasp at the environment in which Aurélie cares for her vines on a daily basis. You will get more familiar with the word “biodiversity” and its meaning as well as the many nuances between organic and biodynamic agriculture. You will see a perfect example of an agroforestry model. Thanks to her professional experiences as an oenologist and an agronomist, she will have all the answers to your questions.

Later on, we will pursue in the cellar. There, you will discover how Aurélie makes her wine (how she transforms grapes into wine) and how she ages her wine into different containers (amphoras and oak barrels) all the way to the bottling process.

We will end this visit by tasting 3 wines: two reds and one white along with our two new spirits (a red vermouth and a brandy) depending on which tariff you chose.

"We had a great afternoon among Aurélie's magnificent vines on the hillside overlooking the Garonne River. Aurélie is passionate and taught us with lots of pedagogy her methods and working philosophy. The tasting part allowed us to appreciate this wonderful nectar.
