To awaken your taste buds, your journey will begin in Belleville-en-Beaujolais, where Loïc Piètre will offer you a culinary workshop based on one or more of our products (oils, vinegars or fruit powder).
It's not a cooking class, but you'll be able to get your hands dirty on an occasional basis. And, of course, you'll be able to taste what's been prepared in front of you.

At the end of this "mise en bouche", you'll be given a recipe card so you can reproduce this gastronomic experience at home.
A short 20-minute drive will take you to the gates of our Beaujeu mill, giving you an insight into our beautiful Beaujolais region. The guided tour of this 19th-century workshop will reveal some of our manufacturing secrets. Afterwards, you can sample our oils and vinegars and visit our boutique.

We cannot guarantee that the mill will be operational during the tours.

We offer visitors the whole range of Beaujolais wines for tasting and sale. Come and discover this place steeped in history with its old cellars dating back more than a century! Our wines come from our family-run estates and châteaux which grant us exclusivity and with whom we work in partnership, some of them for decades now.
Our philosophy has always been to give priority to the particular character and personality of each of the appellations, while respecting the variety of the terroirs.

A 19th-century residence of character overlooking the village of Villié-Morgon, it was once home to one of the children of the Lumière brothers, as well as Princess Lieven, née Chateaubriand.
The estate is run by Elodie Rousselot, who vinifies the 24 hectares of vines in a magnificent cellar that was completely renovated in 2009. More than just an estate, Château Bellevue is also a place to live and share, with its guest rooms and function rooms.
It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful parks in the region, where two-hundred-year-old trees and various species of flowers grow side by side throughout the year.
In 2024, Château Bellevue won the national prize awarded by the Revue du Vin de France for ‘Best Welcome in the Vineyards’.

My grandfather acquired the estate in 1935. At the time it was a mixture of grapevines and meadows. The estate is set on sandy-granite soil in the middle of the hillside, east of the 'Madone de Fleurie' hill in a hamlet called Prion, and in 1978 the vineyard became the estate’s main activity. Today, it covers 7 hectares of land.
As the son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, I came to live on the family estate in 1984, at the age of 20. The estate has been managed according to the 'Terra Vitis' agroecology approach for 20 years now.
