After a visit a of the wine-making facilities, learning about wine-making, we compare it with the chocolate-making process. These two crafts have more in common than we could imagine. The workshop ends with a tasting of 3 wines paired with 3 chocolates made by Maëlig, chocolate-maker based in the village of Saint-Emilion.

The creative workshop puts forward a special grape variety grown at Couvent des Jacobins : the petit verdot ; which is not so common on the right bank of Bordeaux. Compared to the merlot and cabernet franc, you will get familiar with the specificities of each of these grape varieties and create your own wine blend.
