Experiences

Through guided tours and tastings,

or through gastronomic and oenological experiences,

discover our estates and our embassies of the French art of living.

Visit of Château La Mission Haut-Brion

A vineyard rooted for nearly four centuries upon a terrace of fine gravels, giving rise to wines born of a singular terroir and a century-old blending culture.

Discover a gem of sacred charm, whose spiritual aura has endured through the ages.

Visit of Quintus

Here, the four cardinal points shape the landscape. North, south, east, west — four directions that define a place.

To give rise to a great wine, a fifth is needed: the guiding hand that selects, blends, and elevates the terroir.

Discover a majestic estate where a mosaic of ancient soils converges, giving birth to wines of singular harmony. Discover the quintessence of Saint-Émilion.

Awaken your senses and curiosity in a different way

Take the time for a gentle walk through the vineyards and Quintus’ most emblematic viewpoints, discovering the estate at your own pace along the Dragon Trail.

With the Masterclasses, refine your perspective through a curated selection of vintages from Château Haut- Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion and Quintus.

As the culminating moment of your visit to one of the three properties, lunches at the Pavillon Catelan bring together wines and haute gastronomy in seamless harmony.

A discovery in the heart of the vines

From a truly unique setting, Quintus invites you to escape into the heart of its landscapes, among vines, wooded paths and views stretching towards Saint-Émilion. Enjoy a self-guided walking tour, punctuated by waymarked stops and educational content, leading you to the iconic Dragon statue, which watches over the estate from its promontory. Then extend your experience with a picnic accompanied by a glass of Dragon de Quintus.

Tasting experiences Quintus

Refine your understanding of Quintus wines through a range of tasting experiences.

 

From a guided sensory introduction to a more in-depth exploration of vintages, each experience invites you to better understand the identity of Quintus, the singular harmony of its wines, and the way in which time, terroirs and each year shape their balance.
