Lunch in the Shadow of the Walnuts, with Wine tasting tour
Overview
Between Cognac and Saintes, you will fall under the spell of Walnut grove, a family farm of organic nuts that welcomes you for a unique gastronomic experience around nuts. You will be seduced by this unique site nestled in the heart of the Cognas vineyards in Charente and its shaded orchard that will house your lunch in the middle of nature.
Things to do and games for young and old are available free of charge at the reception on request, to make the experience last long after lunch! Do not hesitate to bring your bikes, scooters, balloons... to make the most of your time with us:)
After your meal, take a walk through the farm of the Desrentes family, our neighbors who produce Pineau Cognac and wonderful Charentais wines (walking distance, 5 minutes), or visit the Abbey of Fontdouce (10 minutes drive) where many activities are offered for all ages in a beautiful site.
