Nested in the heart of the village of Saint-Emilion, Couvent des Jacobins has been a family-owned business since 1902. Jean Jean acquired the estate and his great great grandson Xavier is now continuing the tradition of the Grand Cru Classé with a hint of innovation. Thus, it is no surprise that once you enter the doors of Couvent, you head into a time-travel adventure. Couvent des Jacobins was certified in organic farming in fall 2020 ; ethic is a core value for both the owners and the staff. 

 

The numerous experiences offered at Couvent are both original and playful whether you are visiting Saint-Emilion for work or during your vacation. The tours immerge couples, friends or families in the midst of the wine-making philosophy, and transport them on board of a tuk-tuk through the vines, the quarries and the cellars.

 

  • First steps in Couvent is a tour entirely focused on the tasks of the cellar room and the vat-house, and ends with the tasting of the 2 wines of the domaine.
  • In the boots of the winemaker leads you on board of a tuk-tuk in the middle of the vines. You will be actively involved in the vines while being taught the various techniques of winemaking : the pruning in the winter, the leave-trimming in the summer andobviously the harvest.
  • The murmurings of Couvent invites you to an exclusive and cosy tasting comparing a young and ancient vintage of Couvent des Jacobins, inside the monolithic cave; after a tuk-tuk tour in the vines.
  • The Trilogy of Couvent leads you from Couvent to the cellar of CALICEM (our 3rd label) with a stop in a selection of our plots. Tasting of 3 wines with a speechless view on the vineyard of Saint-Emilion.
  • The Delicacies of Couvent is a weekly rendez-vous in the gardens of the cloister. Either sweet or salty, this gourmet break shall conclude perfectly well your day at work or on the beach.

 

Mentionning gourmet experiences, you may as well take note of our Sunday brunch once or twice a month from April to October, from 10:30AM to 12:30PM.

A tour and a tasting are included in all our experiences, all are private and available by reservation.
