Wine tasting in Châteauneuf du Pape

Located on the outskirts of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the direction of Roquemaure, our tasting cellar with panoramic views over the vineyards is housed in the 18th-century family estate. You can discover and taste our wines, warmly welcomed and comfortably seated, while admiring our barrel cellar located in the basement of the bastide.

The tasting lasts about an hour, with some flexibility depending on your expectations. It includes: 

  • A presentation of the wine-growing region and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
  • A throwback in the history of the estate and the specificity, characteristics of its terroirs. 
  • A visit to the cellar, depending on what is available at the time.
  • A tasting of several wines (at least five, adaptable according to your wishes and availability).

Each stage is designed to offer a moment of exchange and discovery, in a convivial setting. 

To make the most of your visit, we recommend that you contact us beforehand, especially during the summer months when our cellar receives many visitors.

OUR SPACES

TASTING EXPERIENCE

At Château de la Gardine, every tasting is an invitation to discover the excellence of the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rasteau and Lirac. Our cellar welcomes you for a moment of free discovery, combining the pleasure of wine with the history of our family estate.

Owners and winegrowers for over 75 years, the Brunel family has been perpetuating the know-how passed down through several generations. Our team will guide you through a selection of our vintages, highlighting the diversity of our appellations and the richness of our terroirs.

Whether you're a novice or a connoisseur, we tailor our presentation to your expectations and level of knowledge. The tasting is accompanied by explanations of our winemaking methods, the blending of grape varieties and the specific characteristics of each terroir. You can also learn more about the evolution of vintages and the influence of time on our wines.

Each bottle we present to you reflects our commitment to producing wines that are true to their appellations, in keeping with the identity of our terroirs and the philosophy of the Brunel family.

ENVIRONMENT

The tastings take place in the heart of an 18th-century building, where the Brunel family still lives today. After more than two years of renovation work, various areas have been fitted out to provide a warm and comfortable setting, while preserving the soul of this house steeped in history.

The atmosphere is that of a family home, with a library, a fireplace, sofas and a panoramic terrace overlooking the vineyards. Natural light streams in through the large windows, complemented by careful lighting that highlights the old stonework and original wood. 

Each area has been designed to accommodate tastings by small groups or individuals, in a convivial setting conducive to sharing and discovering the estate's wines.
