Our hikes
Travel through the countryside, immerse yourself in the views and stroll through the heart of the vineyard. Get closer to nature and discover the Mâconnais with its unsuspected attractions. The Mediterranean vegetation and the villages with Roman tile roofs remind you that, on the Grand Site de France Solutré Pouilly Vergisson, the South often passes through the door...

WORK ON THE VINEYARD IN PROGRESS…
You enter a privileged wine-growing environment, where for generations winegrowers have shaped the landscape that surrounds you. Every day, women and men work to ensure that the vines give the best of themselves. Viticulture requires care because the vine is not naturally immune to cryptogamic diseases (mildew, powdery mildew, etc.) which can destroy a harvest. To prevent them, treatments require the application of suitable products to the vines, mainly from April to July. As far as possible, these treatments are carried out outside busy hours, but weather constraints can sometimes lead to exceptions to this rule. If this is the case during your walk, stay away from the plot, the winegrower will be careful not to expose you if you respect his work. In general, do not enter the plots and on most unmarked vineyard paths, these are private properties. Do not park on the perimeters and access to the plots, the winegrowers must be able to access them at any time.
The winegrowers thank you for your respect and attention.
