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.

🇫🇷 La vie suit son cours au Domaine Les Trois Toits 🌿.
Plantées il y a à peine trois semaines, nos jeunes pousses profitent pleinement des doux rayons du soleil printanier, et leurs premières feuilles commencent déjà à émerger.
Les cépages Villard, Selenor, Abouriou, ainsi que le traditionnel Melon de Bourgogne, s’épanouissent peu à peu dans le parc agroécologique de La Ville au Blanc, en pleine transformation et porteur de promesses pour des cuvées d’exception.
🇺🇸 Life goes on at Domaine Les Trois Toits.
Planted just three weeks ago, our young shoots are taking full advantage of the mild spring sunshine, and their first leaves are already beginning to emerge.
The Villard, Selenor and Abouriou grape varieties, as well as the traditional Melon de Bourgogne, are gradually blossoming in the agro-ecological park of La Ville au Blanc, which is undergoing a complete transformation and holds great promise for exceptional vintages.

🇫🇷 Le domaine a la grande douleur de vous faire part du décès de sa vigneronne, Cécile 😢.
Son aura, son énergie et sa force irrigueront les vignes pour toujours.
🇺🇸 The estate is deeply saddened to announce the passing of its winemaker, Cécile.
Her aura, energy, and strength will forever nourish the vines.

🇫🇷 Le Selenor, kézako ?
Vous n`avez jamais entendu parler de ce cépage ? 🍇
Normal, il est planté pour la première fois et c`est aux Trois Toits que cela se passe !
C`est un cépage dit résistant qui est inscrit au catalogue national officiel des variétés de vigne depuis 2021. Il offre une résistance à de nombreuses maladies sources de nos insomnies (mildiou, oïdium, black rot). Nous l`avons choisi pour ses qualités organoleptiques proches de nos cépages ligériens, offrant une aromatique légère avec des notes florales.
Nous lui offrons un habitat exceptionnel sur une des parcelles centrales de notre secteur de La Ville Blanc. C`est également lui que nous avons choisi pour faire nos premiers essais de conduite de la vigne mariée (vigne dans l`arbre).
Suivez-nous et dans trois ans, vous serez les premiers à le déguster !
🇺🇸 What is Selenor?
You`ve never heard of this grape variety?
Well, it`s being planted for the first time at Les Trois Toits!
It`s a so-called resistant grape variety that has been registered in the official national catalog of vine varieties since 2021. It offers resistance to many of the diseases that cause our insomnia (mildew, powdery mildew, black rot). We chose it for its organoleptic qualities, similar to those of our Loire grape varieties, offering light aromas with floral notes.
We offer it an exceptional habitat on one of the central plots in our La Ville Blanc sector. It`s also the one we`ve chosen for our first trials of married vine training (vine in tree).
Follow us and in three years` time, you`ll be the first to taste it!

🇫🇷 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.
