THE WINEGROWER'S MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Your visit to Rasteau won't be complete if you don't include the Musée du Vigneron on your itinerary, which retraces the history of a family of vine growers over seven generations! This museum created in 1982 by Paul Coulon (Domaine de Beaurenard - Châteauneuf du Pape) pays tribute to all those who have enhanced the value of this terroir whose appellation has travelled the world and refined restaurant. Carts, draught horse harnesses, cellar tools, cooperage tools, crusher, press, harvest hoods, oak barrels, taps, spiders, hoes... all the tools of the trade are on display. An impressive collection of more than 2,500 items illustrates the evolution of tools used in vine work, from the serpette used in the Iron Age to the tools of the 20th century. At the end of the tour – there are 7 exhibition rooms – you will discover the Vinothèque, the estate's saint of saints, the living memory of this terroir which preserves a remarkable collection of 2,000 bottles, only those of the Domaine de Beaurenard, some of which are more than a hundred years old (1880, 1884, 1929...). The visit ends with the tasting cellar.
