Saturday July 19, BULLES CHAMPETRES” (booking required-30 places maximum)

Meet up at the Domaine in Préhy for the start of a country walk to discover the Domaine's vineyards on the Auxerrois side. Take a stroll through a summer vineyard landscape, discover the vine and its secrets with your guide, and enjoy! We're planning a typical grape-picker's picnic basket of local specialities, which we'll enjoy in the vineyards with Domaine wines.

Practical information:

• 5 to 8 km walk, beginner level
• Price: 55 € for two people, including the grape-picking basket, a borsalino, a bottle of water and Domaine wines; 45 € for one person *.
