The Maison des Sancerre, an enchanted gateway to the vineyards and the secrets of winemaking.
The Maison des Sancerre, a superb building built in the 15th century to house the town's thermal baths, was successively occupied by a cooper, a religious association, the sub-prefecture and a school. Since 2005, it is the remarkable site to discover the vineyards of Sancerre with 350 m² of a scenography imagined by the winegrowers of the appellation. A beautiful gateway to the vineyard and behind the scenes of the winemaking process with games, workshops and tastings. Children are not forgotten, especially in the aroma garden.
