Château de la Crée - Château de la Crée experience & picnic
Presentation
Historical presentation of Château de la Crée, founded in 1431 by Nicolas Rolin (Chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy) and the cultural richness of the village of Santenay (Gallo-Roman ruins, monasteries, Montagne des Trois Croix, etc.).
We then visit our 1.5-hectare vineyard in Santenay - Clos du Château, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Observing the surrounding landscape is a great way to illustrate the classification of Burgundy appellations and the importance of “terroir”.
We’ll discuss the specifics of the Santenay appellation and Château de la Crée, along with vineyard management in general.
Then it’s time to head down into our 15th-century vaulted cellars. Here, you can enjoy four of the estate's wines during a guided, interactive tasting.
Château de la Crée picnic:
Before or after your experience ... in the great outdoors, enjoy the spaciousness and tranquillity of the château’s grounds.
A moment’s relaxation and sharing awaits with family or friends.

Your picnic is made up with fresh, seasonal, local produce.
A selection of wines is available for sale to complement your meal. A junior picnic, for ages 12 and under, is also available (must be booked separately, please contact us).
