In Armagnac & d’Artagnan

Each year, after the harvest, all of Gascony lives from the end of October to January to the rhythm of the distillation of Armagnac. Dinners at the foot of the still are organized in many areas, it's time to choose your evening! 🔥

Distillation evenings 🕯️

When the'fall arrives Gascogne it's time to Party among many wineries ! After the harvest and vinification, it’s time for distillation. THE'alembic of the domain or the ambulant (for those who do not have one) runs at full speed day and night to produce thebrandy byArmagnac. Everyone takes the opportunity to gather around because it warms bodies, hearts (and throats 😅). Of large tables are organized at foot of the still… We take advantage of this to make a good meal gullet, toast in unison and sing beautiful songs from here for a completely South West ! 🍽️

The traditional fire 🍊

Water that sets fire 🔥

The Brûlot quezaco? At the end of the meal, we head outside or turn off the lights in the room to do the buckling of white Armagnac. This moment is sometimes silent, we contemplate the winemaker who flambés the white and the sugar using a large ladle in a copper pan. This movement with the ladle gives an impressive flame.🔥

After a quarter of an hour show, we add to this drink oranges and pods of vanilla. This fire can finally be enjoyed hot accompanied by a coffee.☕

Open days at winegrowers🍇

Some producers also offer daytime farm visits , discovery of the cellars with tastings, hikes about vines and many other activities... From a special atmosphere to the most festive, the choice is yours! We chose both 👇😉
