Discover the heritage of Château de la Greffière with a La Roche-Vineuse wine tasting, museum tour, and cellar visit in the heart of Burgundy.

Discover the timeless art of viticulture at Château de la Greffière, a family estate where history and heritage have been bottled for four generations. Since 1924, the Greuzard family has meticulously cultivated the diverse terroirs of Southern Burgundy, and today, they invite you to step into their world through an immersive journey that spans over 65 hectares of lush vineyards. This experience is more than just a simple visit; it is an exploration of the deep-rooted traditions that define the Mâconnais region.

Your adventure begins at the Vine and Wine Museum, a remarkable collection born from a family passion for early 20th-century country life. Here, you will discover over 2,000 authentic tools once used by master craftsmen—carpenters, blacksmiths, and coopers—whose manual labor laid the foundation for the region’s legendary wine industry. Wandering through these exhibits offers a rare glimpse into the ancestral techniques that have shaped the landscape of La Roche-Vineuse.

Following your museum exploration, the tour transitions from history to the present day with a guided visit to the estate’s working heart. You will enter the vat room, a historic structure built in 1790, and descend into the fascinating vaulted cellar. This is where the long-standing winemaking tradition of the Domaine truly comes to life. Your expert guide will lead you from the vines to the cellar, explaining the delicate process of transforming a simple grape into a complex, world-class wine.

The highlight of your visit is undoubtedly the guided tasting of five distinct wines produced on the estate. From the elegant, mineral-rich white wines crafted from Chardonnay—showcasing the riches of terroirs like Saint-Véran and Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse—to the expressive Aligoté, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, your palate will experience the full diversity of the castle’s production. To deepen your connection with the land, you can also enjoy a bonus discovery trail through the heart of the vineyard—a 2-kilometer walk offering breathtaking views and the perfect opportunity to see exactly where your favorite bottles begin their journey.
