Wine Gaming Escape Game & Tasting at Château Lamothe-Cissac

Escape games and wine tasting are separate experiences until you combine them inside a château.

Wine Gaming is an escape game and wine tasting at Château Lamothe-Cissac where teams of 2 to 10 solve puzzles and open a cryptex to release a bottle from Domaines Fabre, then taste it together. The activity runs 90 minutes in French or English and welcomes all ages: children receive grape juice instead of wine. Everything needed to play and taste is included.

The experience

Château Lamothe-Cissac becomes the setting for a puzzle adventure that works like an escape game but centers on wine instead of a locked room. You and your team observe the château's history and surroundings, decode clues scattered through the space, and work through logic puzzles designed to open a cryptex. A mechanical lock that holds a bottle. The challenge appeals to observation, cooperation and reasoning, and it moves at the pace of conversation rather than pressure. Teams stay small enough that everyone contributes: the minimum is two people, the maximum ten.

Once you crack the cryptex, the tasting begins. Adults taste wine from Domaines Fabre. Children participate with grape juice so they experience the same moment. The bottle you unlock is yours to take home and share. The whole thing (the game, the puzzles, the bottle, the tasting) is included in one price. No separate wine purchase, no hidden fees, no additional tastings to buy.

The activity runs in French and English, and it is built for wine lovers and curious newcomers alike. Families bring children, friends bring colleagues, and nobody needs to know wine or escape games beforehand. Physical fitness does not matter. The challenge is mental, not athletic.
