Step-by-step itinerary

Grands Crus tour and wine tasting

• Ride electric Mehari from Chablis
• Discover Grands Crus landscape
• Taste wines at Domaine's boutique

The experience

The Mehari (an open-air, lightweight electric vehicle) carries you out from Chablis into the vineyard terrain of the Grands Crus. You ride through the landscape itself rather than viewing it from a window, and the guide narrates what you pass: the slopes, the soil, the villages that anchor each classified vineyard. The ride lasts between 45 minutes and an hour and a half depending on the route and stops.

After the drive, you head to Domaine Clotilde Davenne at Place Charles de Gaulle in Chablis town center for a tasting of the domaine's wines. This is a working winery, not a tourist facility, so you taste what they produce: Chablis in its various classifications. The guide remains with you through the tasting and can answer questions about what you're drinking and how it connects to the landscape you just rode through.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and French.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is a Mehari and why ride one instead of a regular car?

A Mehari is a lightweight, open-air vehicle with no doors or roof, originally designed for desert travel. Riding in one lets you feel the air and hear the vineyard environment as you move through it, rather than being enclosed. The electric version runs quietly, so you can hear the guide and the landscape.

How long does the whole experience take from start to finish?

The ride itself runs between 45 minutes and an hour and a half. Add time for arrival, the tasting at the domaine, and departure. Plan for a morning or afternoon block of a few hours total.

What wines will I taste at Domaine Clotilde Davenne?

Domaine Clotilde Davenne produces Chablis wines in the region's various classifications. The specific bottles you taste depend on what the domaine has available that day. The guide will explain each one and how the vineyard landscape you rode through connects to what's in your glass.

Is this activity suitable for someone with limited mobility or back problems?

The Mehari has no suspension and an open design, so it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. The ride involves movement over vineyard terrain, and the vehicle itself offers minimal support.
