Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Yonne

Let us tell you: passing very close to Les Caves Bailly cellars without going to discover them would be a great mistake! For these underground 4-hectare cellars, located in quarries exploited since the 12th century, will leave you with memories for a long time to come. These rooms, dug in the heart of a gigantic limestone deposit some 170 million years old, will allow you to understand the vinification of the Crémant de Bourgogne of which the Bailly-Lapierre cellars are the cradle. And for a good reason: they were fitted out in 1972 to allow the first cuvée of this appellation to be born three years later! Before your guided tour, you can go for a walk in the vineyards (in the morning at 10 am). And after the visit, a tasting of two glasses of Crémant will be offered to you to put into practice what you have just learned (with a souvenir flute offered).

One of the highlights of these very beautiful cellars is that the staff is sensitized to welcoming visitors with disabilities. For the little ones, a children's game book and a glass of grape juice will be offered to them.
