What You’ll Experience

After a private visit-tasting of the estate, you will take the time to savor a gourmet picnic basket based on local products under the coolness of the walnut trees in our orchard! The visit-tasting (about 45 minutes) will introduce you to the orchard of 2,500 walnut trees, the production and harvesting of organic walnuts, and our processing workshop into kernels and virgin walnut oils. The visit ends with the tasting of our virgin walnut oils and other walnut specialties. Then we install you in a quiet and shady place under the walnut trees where you can taste the "homemade" picnic, based on local and seasonal products! In addition, you can choose your cold drinks: sodas from the island of Oléron, artisanal fruit juice, Pineau des Charentes*, local beer* or Charentais wine*, and order your coffee, tea or herbal tea. (*Available from the age of 18. Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, consume in moderation. )
