For the really adventurous (or for a group of like-minded connoisseurs), we offer The Master Vigneron Wine Making Course. This is a privileged opportunity to work directly with one of our Partner vignerons to craft your own exclusive, personalised wine. As part of the Master Vigneron Wine Course we invite you to:
- Join us over three visits throughout the wine making year (six nights' superior accommodation included) allowing you to take part in the process that will result in you making your own wine blend.
- Work directly with the vigneron to choose the blend of grape varieties that will go into making your wine.
- Decide on the strategy for developing the wine and even have the wine matured in your own French Oak Barrel.
- Receive a minimum of 300 (24 cases) of truly complex and individual wine with personalised bottle labels.
- Lunch at or near the Winery on one day during each of your visits. One of these to include a wine tour of the vineyard accompanied by one of our bilingual vineyard guides - talk to the vigneron, visit the vines that will go to make your wine, spend time in the winery chai and see how the wine is made and enjoy a tutored wine tasting.
- Full 2 years' membership of Vineyard Partners Wine Club with full membership benefits.
- Use the opportunity to get to know the Languedoc. Over 3 visits you will have plenty of time to appreciate the beauty and history of the region.
- Choose the times of your visit, but why not join your chosen Partner Winery during the grape harvest vendange in September, in the spring to choose your blend of wine with the vigneron, and again in the following spring to see your wine being bottled?
