Harvest 2026

Become a grape picker for the day and discover the vineyard at the rhythm of the harvest.

Some moments cannot be told. They have to be experienced.

Every year, for just a few weeks, the vineyard enters a decisive period: harvest time.
The grapes are ripe. At the estate, we monitor the different plots, taste the berries, adjust the schedule… and then the moment to harvest arrives.

This year, Vignoble du Château de Bousval is once again opening its doors on 12.09, 13.09 and 20.09.26.

The vines alone determine the calendar! Depending on how the grapes develop and reach maturity, dates may be adjusted or cancelled to ensure that harvesting takes place at precisely the right moment. Should we cancel a date, your booking will of course be fully refunded.

Fancy experiencing it for yourself?
This year, you can choose from three dates:

Experience the harvest

Your day at the vineyard:

07:45 — Arrival at the vineyard and team briefing

10:00 — Delicious break (coffee & chocolate)
12:30 — Lunch prepared for you, accompanied by a tasting of our wines
16:00 – 16:30 — End of the day, depending on progress

YOUR BOOKING

For this edition, a €10 booking fee per day is required.

Because we want this amount to go entirely towards your experience at the estate, it will be fully returned to you as a €10 voucher (non-cumulative), which can be used at the vineyard.

This booking simply allows us to prepare your day in the best possible conditions, particularly the lunch, which is organised especially for registered participants.

And because your efforts deserve to be celebrated, in addition to the voucher, a bottle of our Gouttes d’O Chardonnay will be given to each grape picker who takes part for the entire day (from 07:45 to 16:00).

The voucher will be given to you at the end of the day. In the event of non-attendance, the voucher will be forfeited, as the costs associated with your participation will already have been incurred.

IMPORTANT

The harvest takes place outdoors and involves physical exertion. Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather: walking shoes or waterproof boots, a jacket, a water bottle, a hat and sun cream.
All the equipment needed for the harvest, including buckets and secateurs, will be provided on site.
You may book as many days as you wish. Please note that we genuinely rely on your attendance on the dates you select (subject to confirmation).
Lunch is provided by the vineyard and includes a glass of wine.
Harvesting is physically demanding. The vineyard cannot be held responsible for any injuries, back pain or other discomfort resulting from the physical effort involved. Please take this into consideration before booking.
