Between May and June, the winegrowers are busy in the vineyards. To ensure the growth of the branches and the grapes, they must first make sure that the vines stay in their place and grow vertically (the lifting), then a little later, they remove and "arrange" the vines on the wires (the trellising).
Come and learn how to work with the vines:
Not to be missed : the harvest
The experience within the experience! In September, the Champagne region is in turmoil. More than 100,000 grape pickers are busy in the vineyards harvesting the grapes, 100% by hand.
Come and try this unique experience of harvesting "the old-fashioned way".
