In France, 3 vineyards are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The first was Saint-Emilion in 1999, followed by Bourgogne and Champagne in 2015.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the inscription of the Saint-Emilion vineyard, Jacques Olivier Pesme, Executive Director of Wine Origins Alliance, is doing us the honour of hosting a unique round table discussion.
Over the next 1h30, we’ll be sharing some thoughts on the issues affecting our listed vineyards: climate change, the environment, preservation of cultural landscapes, wine tourism, cultural landscapes, wine tourism… and so on.
50€ per person, online booking

You wouldn’t believe how important the container is … even when it comes to tasting water!
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Saint-Emilion vineyard’s UNESCO listing, take part in a masterclass (in English – headphones with French translation available on request) hosted by Maximilan Riedel in the Salle des Dominicains in Saint-Emilion. In front of you, a selection of wines and sparkling wines, all from a UNESCO-listed vineyard: a white Burgundy, a red Burgundy, a Saint-Emilion wine and a glass of Champagne to finish!
An exceptional event that 130 people will be able to share, and the cherry on the cake is that you can take home your tasting kit and repeat the exercise at home with other wines!
Sit back and relax in front of the Maison du Vin de Saint-Emilion and discover the wines of Saint-Emilion with our Wine Truck! Wines by the glass, bottle and good advice from our winemakers!
