Adopt a Vine and Make Your Own Wine

For a wine making year, your lucky recipient will follow the progress of their adopted vines in an award-winning French vineyard, and end up with personalised bottles of wine that the grapes from their vines have helped to make.

You can offer the virtual experience, or choose to include up to three wine experience days. During the wine experience days they will visit the vineyard, taste the wines, savour a typical winemaker's meal, and actively participate in some of the key stages in making the wine such as pruning their vines, harvesting their grapes, or helping with the blending.

The Wine Experience Days are for two people, which gives the ideal opportunity to explore some of France’s most beautiful wine-growing regions. Once the wine has reached maturity, it will be bottled with personalised labels, and made available for your recipient to enjoy with friends and family, so in two years time you might be drinking a bottle over Christmas dinner!
