Domaine de Beaurenard

The winery treated our tour group to an excellent wine tasting and education program. The education included an explanation of the wines grown in the region (there are 13 varieties) and the process for picking grapes and producing the wine. The French adhere to their tried and proven approach. Grapes are still hand picked. The education also tried to show how to taste and examine wine for its quality. They provided chocolates to show how eating the chocolates affected the taste of the wine. The winerie has an interesting collection of oak barrels of different sizes used to age the wine. Of course, the tour ended in the wine shop where visitors could purchase their wines and other local products. I recommend anyone in the area visit this winery to tour the winerie and sample their wines.

This place had great wines as well as a great winery. I saw so much history and passion as I was walking through the winery. The wine tasting was great and so was everyone that was helping us. It’s great to have people that treat you like friends rather than customers. Great experience!
