What is the label “Vignobles & Découvertes”?

The Vignobles & Découvertes label (2009) is awarded, for a duration of 3 years, by Atout France to tourist and wine-growing destinations that offer a complementary range of tourism products (accommodation, restaurants, visits to wineries and tasting sessions, museums, events etc.), to help visitors organize their stay and access approved services.

All of the “Caves Touristiques” wineries are also “ Vignobles et Découvertes” certified establishments.
