Wine and wine holidays
Winegrowers around the holiday park
In the Couchois region around "La Bonne Vie" are 23 winegrowers (see map). More famous wines you will find in the direction of Beaune, in the villages Pomard and Meursault. The wines sold there are more expensive than those offered by the winegrowers close to "La Bonne Vie".
The appellation "Côte du Couchois" is relatively young (2000) and was created to obtain a wine of higher quality than the more common "appelation Bourgogne Rouge", simply by limiting the maximum production to 4000 litres per hectare. The result is a red wine with a rich smell and spicy taste. Many winegrowers obtained medails in recent years at national contests.
The following wines are harvested in the Couchois:
· Pinot Noir (245 Ha.)
· Gamay (95 Ha.)
· Aligoté (14 Ha.)
· Chardonnay (6 Ha.)
The wines originate in the direct surroundings from:
Couches, Chagny, Dracy les Couches, St.Sernin du Plain, St. Jean de Trezy en St-Maurice les Couches. Names of villages that you will find on the labels of the quality wines from our region.
"La Bonne Vie" organises wine tasting and cooperates with specialised companies to draw up holiday itineraries that match your needs. For example hikes through the wine yards followed by a wine tasting, visit to factory of drums or exploration by jeep, with or without driver.
Ask for our conditions.
Every year around end of september we let our houses to groups that come to harvest.
