Experience the grape harvest in Bousval

A unique wine tourism experience

How about spending a day as a grape picker at the Château de Bousval vineyard?

Much more than just harvesting grapes, it is an experience in its own right: a moment of nature, sharing and conviviality. Discover the vineyard in a different way, from the inside, where it all begins. A rare opportunity to take part in a key moment in the wine-growing year and leave with the pride of having been part of the adventure.

A sensory immersion

At dawn, with a hot coffee in your hand, you will see the sun rise gently over the vines.

Your footsteps still cool on the gravel, the silence punctuated by birdsong, the precise movement of picking the grapes, the sugar from the grapes running down your fingers… every moment awakens the senses.

Moments of sharing

Harvesting also means filling your bucket in good company, sharing anecdotes and laughter, learning from each other. At lunchtime, the vineyard offers you a convivial meal accompanied by a glass of wine.

A moment suspended in time, where collective effort becomes a shared memory.
