Château La Croizille and Château Tour Baladoz - winners of the "Exceptional Offer" in the 2024 Wine Tourism Trophies in the "Education and environmental protection" category - look at the world through vine-tinted spectacles!

The De Schepper family are the proud owners of these two Saint-Émilion Grands Crus Classés, and it’s here that they organise a whole host of activities to help the public understand more about the challenges facing their profession.

One of the highlights is the Nature and Terroir walk that focuses firmly on the family’s deep investment in sustainable viticulture.

This outdoor stroll, which is signposted with QR codes, introduces visitors to the ecosystem of the vines and the environmentally-responsible practices used to preserve them.

And once walkers reach the end of the circuit and are reinvigorated by this breath of fresh air, they’re invited to enjoy a tasting.
