Join the party in the vineyards!

At Open Days, meet the winegrowers.

Generally accompanied by a range of events, the open-days of an appellation are also an opportunity to have a look inside the properties and meet the men and women who make the wine. Tasting as a matter of course and the chance to chat with others to understand the day to day life of a winegrower and the magic involved in winemaking.
