A Leading Wine Tourism Destination Among the Châteaux of Beaujolais

In an article dedicated to wine tourism experiences in Beaujolais, Terre de Vins highlights the rich historical, cultural and viticultural heritage of a region shaped over centuries. The magazine notably showcases the Châteaux en Beaujolais association, which brings together several of the region’s most emblematic estates around a shared ambition: to introduce visitors to the exceptional heritage of Beaujolais châteaux through a wine route that blends history, culture, gastronomy and great wines.

Among the featured properties is Château de La Chaize, whose architectural heritage, gardens designed by André Le Nôtre and wine tourism experiences are presented as essential stops on a true travel itinerary through Beaujolais. The article invites readers to discover the region through the lens of the French art de vivre, embracing what it describes as the “Beaujolais dolce vita.”

Wine Workshops, Tastings and Exclusive Experiences

Terre de Vins also highlights several of the estate’s signature experiences. Among them is the exclusive tour, “In the Light of Jules Hardouin-Mansart,” named after the architect of the château—and of many of the buildings at Versailles—as the article notes. This experience “includes a guided walk through the estate and its enclosed vineyard, a tasting of wines from the clos, as well as a vertical tasting of the estate’s iconic Brouilly cuvée, ‘La Chaize’” (2.5 hours, €150).

The magazine also draws attention to the wine workshops offered at the estate, including a session dedicated to Gamay—described as “Beaujolais’ flagship grape variety”—as well as a blending workshop, both providing an immersive introduction to the world of wine at the heart of Beaujolais. Guided by the Château de La Chaize team, participants discover the unique characteristics of the estate’s different vineyard parcels before creating their own blend and taking home a personalised bottle.
