Things To Do
Espace des Brouilly
If you are looking to buy some local wines, located next to the chateau des Ravatys, this is the largest showcase in the world for the AOC Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly. More than 50 producers are showcased with more than 100 different wines and a wide range of local products.
Château Thivin
Visit one of the best producer of the region, Château Thivin! Built in the 14th century, the Château Thivin is the oldest property on the Mont Brouilly. In 1877, Zaccharie Geoffray purchased the estate with 2 hectares of lands. Since then, the Geoffray family extended the domaine and increased the quality of the production. Today, Claude Geoffray and his son are the 5th and 6th generation to run the family estate and they brought it to the very top of the Côte de Brouilly appellation.
Domaine de La Grand'Cour
Visit Domaine de la Grand'Cour in the village of Fleurie where Benoit did his first harvest! Domaine de la Grand’Cour is truly an exciting winery, which over the last few years has developed a cult following. Crafting exceptional wines of depth, finesse and ageability, Jean-Louis Dutraive deserves his place at the top of the ranks in Fleurie.
L'Ecume Gourmande
Recommended to Benoit and his father by a winemaker during their visit, this restaurant offers a wonderful gastronomic experience at a great price. The wine list is impressive!
Auberge du Cep
Standing in pride of place on Fleurie’s village square, is the Auberge du Cep gastronomic restaurant. Aurélien and Camille have created a warm and convivial atmosphere in which you can savour and enjoy gastronomic regional cuisine that pairs generosity with finesse. The quality of the region’s produce is second to none and provides the Michelin-starred chef with a superb palette of expression that he further enhances with his remarkable sauces and jus.
Chapelle de la Madone
Enjoy the magnificent panorama when you arrive at the Chapel of Madonna. You will have the opportunity to see the hillsides of the Cru Fleurie vineyards, the Saône valley and as a bonus, on a clear day you will be able to see the Alps and the Mont Blanc.
Les Bertrand
The Bertrands are superb biodynamic Beaujolais' wines (Fleurie and Morgon); we have clearly succumbed to the charms of the estate's wines. But it's also a beautiful family story.
