The estate air is cool and slightly sweet; rows of Gamay reach toward the sun while two hosts—Inès and Anaïs—move through the vines, inviting guests to touch leaves and smell soil. The two-hour workshop begins among the vines, then settles into the cellar where four wines and hand-crafted chocolates meet, each tasting a small experiment in balance and contrast.
