A unique workshop to discover or rediscover Pineau des Charentes in an original way! A new concept in the Charente, this activity only exists here!
Discover the Pineau des Charentes
Whether you know Pineau des Charentes or not, our Pineau des Charentes creation activity will make you discover Pineau des Charentes from a new perspective!
A privileged moment in an intimate atmosphere where you can put your senses to the test. Like a Master Blender, you will have the opportunity to create your own bottle of Pineau des Charentes.
The Pineau des Charentes assembly workshop
This one-hour activity is a guided workshop. We start by explaining the AOC Pineau des Charentes and then explain how this drink is made. We also talk about grape varieties, vintages, ages and aromas...
Then it's up to you! In front of you, you have 3 pineau of 3 different ages (white or rosé, your choice!). You start by tasting each pineau individually to appreciate its aromas. After that, you can do your blending tests. Do you prefer a pineau that's fruity, not too sweet, not too acid? It's up to you to decide and test the blend according to the age you prefer. Once you've made your choice of blend, you can fill your own 50cl bottle of Pineau des Charentes and leave with your own creation!
A souvenir of Charente
If you want to take home a souvenir of the Charente, this is the activity for you! You'll be welcomed onto a wine estate, and more specifically an independent winegrowers' estate. For several generations, Guillon-Painturaud has specialised in Pineaux des Charentes, and more specifically in old pineaux. The Pineaux offered on the estate have been aged for a long time and therefore develop complex and highly aromatic notes, with a long finish.
After the Pineau workshop, you'll have the chance to taste some of the company's old pineau in the shop!
