As a very eco-conscious establishment, we at La Verrière are always interested to see what other environmentally friendly incentives are going on in our local area. Thankfully, France is very good at pushing for green energy production, reducing energy usage and lowering its environmental impact all round but we were delighted to find that our region is particularly good at this with some interesting and innovate projects.
Visitors have the opportunity to experience the whole winemaking journey here at La Verriere. Harvest is of course an extra special time of the year in the vineyard and the winery, and guests are able to have a unique insight into viticulture and winemaking - quite literally from the grape to the glass. There are a variety of wine-related activities and workshops on offer at La Verriere throughout the year, catering for all levels of wine enthusiasts from novice to collector.
It’s vital that the utmost care is taken to preserve the precious juice of our grapes so that we can turn it into our award-winning wine, so all our grapes are picked by hand and sorted by hand on a vibrating sorting table. Visitors can come and observe the harvest and be part of the incredible atmosphere at this time of year. We can also organise bespoke educational programmes around the harvest too.
