Discovering Château Fonroque means first and foremost taking the time to understand a place, its history, and the work that takes place throughout the seasons. The tour covers both the technical specifics inherent to winemaking and the farming practices implemented in the vineyard.
We favor a simple and open approach, where conversation plays an essential role. We love sharing the daily life of the estate, the choices that guide our work, and how we approach each vintage.
The tour ends with a tasting of the estate's wines, a convivial moment that extends the conversation and provides a tangible appreciation of the connection between the vineyard, the year, and the resulting wines.
The estate is open year-round by reservation for tours and tastings. For those wishing to fully enjoy the peace and atmosphere of the vineyard, Château Fonroque also offers three guest rooms for rent in the heart of the property.
