Experience Collections

What if the Course Landaise were “surfing on land”? Come discover this spectacular world in the heart of the Marciac arena! On the agenda: a tour of the arena and an introduction to the Course Landaise, its “écarteurs” (those who block the bull’s path) and “sauteurs” (those who jump over the bull), accompanied by a photography exhibition dedicated to these maneuvers. The event also offers a comparative look at surfing and the Course Landaise, two disciplines that require movement, balance, anticipation, and body control. The exploration continues with a focus on wine, featuring an exhibition on the vineyards of southwestern France and a tasting of Plaimont wines. Children can also participate with a fruit juice tasting.

In the estate’s cathedral-like wine cellar, renowned for its exceptional acoustics, let Olivia Begyn guide you through a unique sensory experience combining champagne tasting, meditation, and sound therapy.

What if wine became your canvas? Come enjoy a unique and fun artistic experience at a wine shop. Using the various shades offered by the wines’ colors, create an original work of art featuring natural and surprising hues.

Come join us for a drawing and painting class focused on the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties, led by Jacki Colson, an expressionist painter. The class will be followed by a tasting of these two varieties—first as grape juice, then as still wines, and finally as champagnes.

A mystery, a grand cru, a heritage steeped in history… What if the walls of La Louvière had kept their most precious secret? A forgotten chest, a legend dating back more than 200 years… Will you be able to track down the missing treasure? In the midst of the French Revolution, a wealthy shipowner from Bordeaux is said to have hidden La Louvière’s first “revolutionary” vintage, along with the estate’s title deeds, in a chest protected by an ingenious mechanism. Today, the chest has been found… but no one knows how to open it. Working as a team, players have 45 minutes to figure out the combination needed to open the chest before the estate closes its doors. To do so, they’ll have to use modern technology to decipher the past: equipped with a drone and a map of the site, they’ll set out in search of markers containing the clues needed to open it. An exclusive and immersive experience blending history, technology, and teamwork, followed by a tour of the wine cellars and a tasting of the estate’s wines.

Admission to the Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology Museum is free specifically for the “Vignobles en Scène” weekend—take this opportunity to explore the collections, the exhibition on Champagne vineyards, and the special escape box.

Escape Box. A secret cellar, hidden beneath Avenue de Champagne, is said to contain notebooks, tools, and secrets from a long-defunct House that pioneered avant-garde techniques now forgotten. An old, sealed box has resurfaced from an attic in Épernay. It contains a strange diorama of the avenue, unusual objects, and incomplete notes. All that remains is to unravel its mystery before the story fades away forever...

The Faïencerie de Gien invites you to a unique evening combining creativity and an exploration of the local region. Come learn the basics of decorating earthenware during a friendly workshop, and immerse yourself in the world of artisanal crafts. The evening will continue with a wine tasting featuring wines from the Coteaux du Giennois, celebrating local flavors and the region’s winemaking heritage. A special experience blending craftsmanship and wine appreciation, to be enjoyed and shared in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The sun sets gently over the vineyards of Provence. The mistral carries the scents of cardamom and wild herbs. The weather is pleasant, and the cicadas are singing. It’s already beautiful. But with a little music, it becomes truly magnificent! The vineyards of Provence and music—this pairing has the power today to envision culture blending with nature, audiences experiencing authenticity, and musical repertoires harmonizing with the region.

Let yourself be enchanted by a traveling magic show in the cellars of Domaine Famille Denis. Behind every step of the winemaker’s craft lies a trick that might just blow your mind! The experience will conclude with a tasting of the estate’s wines, accompanied by an appetizer platter.
