Visit
Doors always open
The doors to the Les Trois Toits winery are always open. You’re welcome to come and meet us, preferably in the late afternoon from 5pm, and on Saturday mornings to buy our wines.
A walking map is available for those wishing to explore our vineyards.
We also offer social events, for which an appointment is preferable.
Tasting
After an explanation of the work cycle from vine to winery and a tour of the premises, we offer a tasting of our wines. Several themes can be chosen: terroirs, ageing methods, ageing times …. The theme is decided in advance of the tasting.
Dinner in the vineyards
During the summer months, we offer dinner in the vineyards. Dinner is served buffet-style. The wine is served and commented on directly at the table.
Workshops
Sharing passion and know-how
Put on your boots, join us on our vineyard plots and push open the door to our winery, and join us in pruning, green harvesting and blending. Let’s get together and share our passion and know-how. Over the course of a complete cycle, you’ll leave with your own cuvée; for an evening, you’ll taste our wines in our vineyards.
In order to share our practices and know-how, we have designed workshops that fit into our cycle of work from soil to wine. These three workshops can be run independently, but are of particular interest if they are all carried out over the course of a year.
The workshops are offered to individuals interested in learning about and sharing our practices. They can also be tailor-made for groups (corporate teams, wine-tasting clubs, associations, families, groups of friends, etc.). In this case, the precise course of the workshops will be adapted according to the group’s objectives (reunion, learning, teambuilding, strategic reflection, etc.).
Workshop 1 – Pruning for wine
Thanks to a workshop on vine pruning, we’ll talk to you about agro-ecological systems, soil life, sap flow… we’ll share our observations, our practices, our questions, our research… you’ll quickly understand that our choices of agronomic and viticultural practices are not exclusive but inclusive, with a single objective: to achieve a sustainable balance in all our practices.
You’ll realize the long-term impact of something as simple as the flick of a pruning shear.
With us, you’ll learn to take wine by the scruff of the ne
Workshop 2 – Go green
Following on from the previous workshop, you will carry out some of the green work on the plot you have been working on. De-budding, de-stemming, leaf-thinning, … Quality versus quantity, sacrificing to reinforce… These are all thoughts we’ll be sharing together, always with the same objective in mind: the search for a sustainable balance.
With us, you’ll go green.
Workshop 3 – Wine blending
A few months after the frenzy of the harvest, the calm of the cellar housing the maturing wines will welcome you. Here, you’ll embark on the painstaking exercise of blending your wine into a finished, bottled and labelled product.
With your group, and according to the objectives you’ve set for yourselves, you’ll make different blends, which you’ll taste to choose the one that will win the consensus of the group. You’ll be confronted with the choice of bottles, capsules and label.
Faced with so many choices, you’ll realize that wine is a long story.

Exhibitions
A roof for an artist
You could say that the winery is to the winemaker what the studio is to the artist: a place of work, inspiration, reflection, gestation, sketches, trials and tribulations… quite simply, a place of creation. These two activities have a similar creative approach.
The Domaine Les Trois Toits winery has been built over the years using local materials found on site: shale stone walls, hand-dug underground glass vats. From August to October, this 200m2 space is used for the year’s harvest and winemaking. Outside this short but intense period, the hustle and bustle gives way to the calm and serenity needed to mature the wine.
During this period, we open the doors of our winery to one or two artists wishing to present their work to the public. The size of the space and the walls, the volumes and the zenithal light offer a space allowing the installation of large-format works for a period of about a month. In this way, we offer artists the chance to freely take possession of our workspace, inviting them to design works in keeping with the space we make available. It’s a kind of co-production, based on a genuine spirit of professional and human exchange.
By crossing two activities and two universes, we hope to mix several audiences and create unique encounters and exchanges.

🇫🇷 Ce lundi 14 avril est un jour fondateur pour l`avenir résilient du domaine : sur un sol régénéré, non labouré en profondeur, nous plantons Melon B., Abouriou, Villard noir et Selenor, un mix de cépage historique et identitaire, de cépage rustique et de cépage résistant.
Cette plantation est intégrée dans le parc de La Ville au Blanc que nous remettons en paysage depuis deux ans désormais. Ces vignes, dans leur diversité, vont nous permettre de produire dans un environnement climatique changeant tout en gardant notre identité ligérienne.
Cette plantation est l`aboutissement d`un long travail de fond mené avec l`équipe de paysagiste @laplumeetlesecateur, ainsi qu`avec les @pepinieres_mercier et Gentié.
Nous remercions sincèrement l`accompagnement professionnel qu`ils nous ont apporté et les échanges visionnaires que nous avons eus.
🇺🇸 This Monday, April 14, is a founding day for the resilient future of the estate: on regenerated soil, not ploughed in depth, we plant Melon B., Abouriou, Villard noir and Selenor, a mix of historical and identity grape varieties, hardy grape varieties and resistant grape varieties.
This plantation is part of the La Ville au Blanc park, which we`ve been restoring to landscape for two years now. The diversity of these vines will enable us to produce in a changing climatic environment while retaining our Loire identity.
This planting is the culmination of a long and in-depth project carried out with the landscaping team La Plume et le Sécateur, and the nurserymen Mercier and Gentié.
We sincerely thank them for their professional support and the visionary discussions we had.

🇫🇷 Pète et Gros-Pète sont dans un bateau ; Pète tombe à l`eau. Qui est-ce qui reste ⁉️
Gros-Pète...
Et oui, notre Gros Plant du Pays Nantais nous accompagne fidèlement et nous permet de remporter une médaille d`or au concours des vins de Vertou.
Compagnonne résistante, la Folle Blanche menée autrefois en mode sur productif, nous offre aujourd`hui tous ses atouts : débourrement tardif, bois dur, feuillage épais, acidité naturelle, ...
On adore cette rusticité unique que l`on habille en vin tranquille en macération et en bulles.
🇺🇸 Pète and Gros-Pète are in a boat; Pète falls overboard. Who`s left ⁉️
Gros-Pète...
And yes, our Gros Plant du Pays Nantais is our faithful companion, helping us win a gold medal at the Vertou wine competition.
A hardy companion, Folle Blanche was once over-produced, but now offers us all its assets: late budding, hard wood, thick foliage, natural acidity...
We love this unique rusticity, which we dress up in still wine, maceration and bubbles.

🇫🇷 Prendre de la hauteur, s`élever ... 🌳
Voilà ce que l`on va proposer à nos vignes dans les prochains mois et année sur notre secteur de la Ville au Blanc.
En s`inspirant de la nature originelle de la vigne et dans une quête de qualité hors productivisme, nous allons marier la vigne à l`arbre.
Nous n`inventons rien ; les Etrusques l`ont mené avant nous avec une conduite dite `arbusive de la vigne`.
Pour notre part, nous utiliserons les beaux sujets que les friches nettoyées nous ont offerts, ainsi que la lisière des bois que l`on sanctuarise.
Nous allons ainsi réinventer notre manière de travailler et réinventer notre vin.
🇺🇸 Climbing, rising ...
That`s what we`re going to propose to our vines in the coming months and years in our Ville au Blanc sector.
Inspired by the vine`s original nature, and in a quest for quality that`s free from productivism, we`re going to marry the vine with the tree.
We`re not inventing anything; the Etruscans did it before us, with what they called “shrubby vine management”.
For our part, we`re going to make use of the beautiful subjects that the cleaned-up wasteland has offered us, as well as the edges of the woods that we`re making sanctuary for.
We`re going to reinvent our way of working and reinvent our wine.

🇫🇷 Tous en formation ! 🌱
Depuis 2021, nous avons investi pour renouveler notre encépagement et gagner en résilience. Nous avons donc désormais 3.5 ha de ceps en formation !
Cela signifie que nous taillons les ceps, non pas pour optimiser la production de raisin de l`année, mais pour implanter le plant au mieux et le former pour une belle résistance pour les années futures.
Un travail de patience, d`observation et de prise de décisions dont les futures générations bénéficieront.
1 - Cep de Gamay en année 4, planté en avril 2021 en belle capacité de production
2 - Cep de Folle Blanche en année 3, planté en avril 2022, en pleine vigueur
3 - Cep de Melon en année 2, planté en avril 2023 prêt à nous offrir une demi-vendange
4 - Cep de Melon B. planté en mai 2024, ayant souffert d`excès d`eau
🇺🇸 All in creation!
Since 2021, we`ve been investing to renew our vine stock and gain in resilience. We now have 3.5 ha of vines in creation!
This means that we prune the vines, not to optimize the year`s grape production, but to establish the plant in the best possible position and train it for resilience in future years.
It`s a job of patience, observation and decision-making that will benefit future generations.
1 - Gamay vine in year 4, planted in April 2021 with good production capacity
2 - Folle Blanche vine in year 3, planted in April 2022, in full vigor
3 - Cep of Melon in year 2, planted in April 2023, ready to offer us a half harvest.
4 - Cep of Melon B. planted in May 2024, having suffered from excess water”.
