About
The Vignoble Marchais long offered the public its famous night in a barrel, with a tasting and breakfast. In 2026, the offer has changed: the estate now has a barrel for two and three vineyard cabins for up to five each, but these are reserved exclusively for newlyweds and their guests for the 2026 season. No outside bookings are possible this year. The estate plans a new offer for 2027, with evenings around the vineyard, tastings, country barbecues and nights among the vines. The former public packages give an idea of prices: 145 € for two with a tasting, a bottle, a terrine, the night and breakfast, or 190 € with a local picnic basket.
