The Experience
When the orchards and hedgerows are heavy with fruit — apples, pears, plums, blackberries, figs — it's time to preserve the harvest. In the château kitchen, learn traditional French techniques for making confiture, compote, and fruit leather. You'll pick the fruit yourself, prepare it with a local guide, and take home jars labelled with the estate's name and the date of your stay. A sweet tradition that connects every season.
