Savor exquisite wines and local pairings on a scenic vineyard tour with expert guidance.

Hands-on biodynamic winemaking with Hélène Ponty in Fronsac

Experience the life of a winemaker firsthand at Domaine Ponty with Hélène Ponty as your guide. Begin among the old vines, where you’ll learn about the varietals, the local terroir of Canon Fronsac, and the domaine’s biodynamic approach. Depending on the season, join Hélène in the vineyard—pruning in winter, training the vines in spring, and helping with the grape harvest in late summer or early fall.

Afterward, explore the cellar where the wines are produced and aged. Discover the keys to biodynamic winemaking, from pressing to bottling, and see how each stage shapes the final character of the wine. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of three exquisite wines, where you can savor all you’ve learned in each glass.
