La 20ème édition des Étapes Vigneronnes sont de retour à côté de ...
Le Clos Bourgelat, situé à Cérons, organise la 20e édition des « Étapes Vigneronnes », en collaboration avec le château La Bouade. Cet événement, qui se déroulera les samedi 17 et dimanche 18 mai, est une occasion de découvrir les vignobles de France sans quitter la Gironde. L'objectif est de permettre aux visiteurs de rencontrer des vignerons et de goûter des vins d'autres appellations, dans un esprit convivial et familial. Cinq régions viticoles seront mises à l'honneur : le Bourgueil, le Champagne, le Cognac, le Madiran et le Minervois, en plus des vins locaux des Graves et des Sauternes. Les dégustations seront gratuites, et un verre gravé souvenir pourra être acheté pour 3,50 €. Une offre de restauration sera disponible sur place, avec la présence du traiteur céronnais Mon Papa Gourmand et des huîtres de Marennes. Du jus de raisin maison sera également proposé pour ceux qui ne boivent pas d'alcool ou les familles. L'événement se veut simple et chaleureux, avec des tonnelles, des tentes et des barriques pour accueillir les participants dans toutes les conditions météorologiques. Les bénévoles, la mairie et le comité des fêtes soutiennent activement cette manifestation qui a rassemblé près de 200 personnes l'année précédente. Les visiteurs pourront ainsi déguster et acheter des vins directement auprès des producteurs. La prochaine étape de ce concept se déroulera à Cognac, après cette édition à Cérons.
