FAQ

• What are your visiting hours and do I need to book in advance?

  Our visiting hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Monday - Friday. A typical visit includes a tour of the vineyard, winery, and barrel cellar, concluding with a tasting of our wines. While walk-ins may be possible, we highly recommend booking your visit in advance to ensure we can welcome you and avoid disappointment. We offer visits in both French and English.

• What does a typical visit and tasting experience involve?

  A visit to Château Plaisance offers an immersive experience. You'll join a guided tour through our vineyards (weather permitting), see where the magic happens in our winery, and explore our barrel cellar. The visit culminates in a tasting of our Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines, served by the glass. Please allow approximately 60-90 minutes for the full experience.

• Can we visit with a group? Are children and pets allowed?

  Yes! We welcome groups of up to 10-15 people, however, reservations are required for groups of this size. Children are welcome to join the visit and tours but are not permitted to taste the wines. We are also pet-friendly, so well-behaved pets on leashes are welcome to accompany you. Ample on-site parking is available for your convenience.

• Where can I purchase your wines?

  You can purchase our full range of wines directly from our tasting room during visiting hours. We also have an online store where you can find all our wines, including gift sets. Additionally, a selection of our wines can be found at select local wine shops (cavistes) in Saint-Émilion.

• What type of wine do you produce and what are your farming practices?

  We specialize in producing Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines. Our blends primarily feature Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the classic terroir of the Right Bank. We are proud to be HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certified, demonstrating our strong commitment to sustainable viticulture and environmentally friendly practices from the vineyard to the bottle.

• Do you offer food or can we bring a picnic?

  We currently focus exclusively on wine tours and tastings and do not offer food service on-site. As our tours often move through working areas of the winery and vineyards, we kindly ask that guests refrain from bringing outside food or picnics. There are many lovely spots in the Saint-Émilion village nearby where you can enjoy a meal before or after your visit.
