Chablis wine tasting at Domaine Clotilde Davenne vineyard walk

The winery spans three villages, and you taste from all three in one session.

A 90-minute vineyard visit and wine tasting at Domaine Clotilde Davenne in Chablis, where you walk the vines with explanations of the terroir, tour the winery, and taste wines from Chablis, Saint-Bris, Irancy, Bourgogne and Crémant appellations. The winemaker and her team lead the experience in English. Minimum age is 18. The estate is fully wheelchair accessible.

The experience

You arrive at a working vineyard spread across three Burgundy villages (Chablis, Saint-Bris and Irancy), where Clotilde Davenne and her team manage 30 hectares of small plots planted with different grape varieties and ages. The walk starts in the vines at the foot of the estate, where you learn how the terroir shapes what grows there and the history of the land itself. This is not a polished tour. It is an authentic setting where the winemaker shares what she has built since 1989.

After the vineyard, you move into the winery to see how the grapes become wine. The tasting follows, and you choose which of the five appellations you want to explore: Chablis, Saint-Bris, Irancy, Bourgogne or Crémant. The whole session runs 90 minutes and stays small enough that you can ask questions without raising your hand. The experience is designed as a friendly moment, not a formal lesson, so the pace lets you linger on what interests you.

Top questions

What is the difference between Chablis and the other wines I'll taste at Domaine Clotilde Davenne?

Chablis is unoaked Chardonnay from the northernmost part of Burgundy, known for its mineral character and acidity. Saint-Bris produces Sauvignon Blanc, Irancy makes Pinot Noir, and the estate also offers Bourgogne and Crémant wines, so you taste across red, white and sparkling styles from three distinct terroirs in one tasting.

How long does the vineyard walk take, and is it difficult?

The entire experience is 90 minutes, with the vineyard walk as the opening part. It is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and the estate is fully wheelchair accessible, so the terrain and pace accommodate different needs.

Can I buy wine after the tasting?

The tasting is designed to introduce you to the range of wines the estate produces, and you can purchase bottles directly from the winery after the session ends.

Do I need to know about wine to enjoy this tasting?

No. The winemaker and her team explain the terroir and the wines as you go, so the tasting works whether you are tasting wine for the first time or you have done it many times before.
