Visita guiada bastante elucidativa e tranquila. Ali são produzidos 3 vinhos. Ao final da visita, degustamos os 3 vinhos. Todos eles muito bons. Vinhos orgânicos, mas que não tem como perceber diferença do vinho produzido “regularmente”, inclusive tem um dos 3 que é sem adição de sulfitos. Visita boa. Recomendo.

Tour of Chateau Bernateau winery
Pam Ferron 10/17/2023
I liked seeing the vines and the explanation of the complexities of growing the grapes especially under organic guidelines. I also liked the tour of the process of the wine making. I was astounded at the low cost of the tastings. Great tasting wines! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gracious. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to taste the grape in the field. Very easy booking process. I have already told others about my experience and recommend highly to them. Pam from Atlanta, GA, USA

I really enjoyed the visit to the winery. It was very informative and it had a great athmosphere! I would definitely recommend this tour to others. It is a family owned winery and is not too big. It has a very nice location and the staff was very nice.

Visite pédagogique agréable et intéressante, idéale pour les enfants à partir de 5/6 ans je dirai. Très bon accueil.
