Our two-hectare estate, nestled on the hillsides of Villeneuve between Lake Geneva and the Alps, enjoys an exceptional clay-limestone terroir that is cultivated with the utmost respect for nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur philosophy is simple: work with nature rather than control it. The grapes are hand-picked, fermentation relies on indigenous yeasts, and our wines are made without oenological additives, added sulphites or filtration. Each bottle therefore expresses its vintage, grape variety and terroir with remarkable authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaison Vulpin is, above all, a story of passion. After several years in the hospitality industry, Jordi Renard took over the former Domaine Crépon, founded in 1984, in 2022, with the ambition of creating wines that reflect his vision: free, vibrant and full of emotion. Since then, the estate has developed its own identity under the name Maison Vulpin, where every cuvée tells a story and invites discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat our visitors appreciate most is this constant pursuit of authenticity. They enjoy wines that are not standardised but express their true personality. They also value the warm welcome at the estate, the relaxed tastings and the opportunity to speak directly with the winemaker to better understand the work behind every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for wines with character, crafted patiently, with respect for nature and without compromise, we will be delighted to welcome you to Maison Vulpin and share our passion with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍇 Spend a harvest day at Maison Vulpin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecome a grape picker for a day and discover how natural wines are made, from harvesting the grapes to their arrival in the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8:30 a.m. – Welcome, coffee \u0026amp; briefing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe welcome you with coffee and light refreshments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgramme:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Maison Vulpin and its philosophy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresentation of the grape variety being harvested\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplanation of ripeness criteria and grape selection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to the equipment and safety instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will then receive your bucket and pruning shears before heading to the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9:00 a.m. – Into the vineyard!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTime to harvest!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will learn how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003erecognise perfectly ripe grape clusters,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eharvest efficiently without damaging the vines or grapes,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eunderstand the importance of careful grape selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the morning, we will share our expertise, the estate's history and answer all your questions about vineyards, terroir and the winemaker's craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12:00 p.m. – Friendly lunch at the estate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the effort comes the reward!
