A sparkling destination to experience a wonderful adventure in the world of wine with your family or group.
Located in the Châtillonnais region in the north of the Côte d'Or and at the gateway to the Champagne region, we are delighted to welcome you to the Ampelopsis Oenocentre. We wanted to create a cultural and educational tool dedicated to the vine and wine, in a historical site, 18th century barns and 13th century wine cellars.
Beyond the museography and the exhibitions, the interest is strongly oriented towards "interpretation". In fact, over 2000 m², we offer you a cultural, temporal, technical, sensory and fun learning experience of the world of wine, in the form of a discovery circuit, reinforced by a significant audio-visual presence and lined with educational workshops to awaken the 5 senses. Let's go on an initiatory and emotional journey into the world of wine, in an authentic and family setting.

- Reception and terrace: reception area.
- Le Muséum St Vincent : exhibition room with old tools.
- The Temple of the Vine: educational room and animation on the biology of the vine.

Dear visitors, we are doing our utmost, with our means, to limit the spread of the Coronavirus while reserving you the warmest possible welcome. We remind you the necessity, for you as for us, to apply the barrier gestures, and to respect our rules as regards prevention:
- We welcome one family or group of friends at a time (and 10 people maximum). The following visitors can wait in their vehicles or in a dedicated area, as long as the first ones have not entered the second room (15 to 20 minutes apart). The tour route is one-way (families do not cross paths).
- A distance of at least 1 meter will be necessary between you and us.
- We provide hydroalcoholic solution to wash your hands upon arrival and encourage the use of masks.
- At the cashier's desk, we have put in place a physical barrier (plexi type), in addition to a distance marking on the floor. We favour credit card and contactless payment methods.
- Once inside, we suggest you stroll around in a relaxed mode, with your hands in your pockets to avoid touching any support and the contents of the museum (the doors remain open).
- The tasting at the end of the visit is served in a (new) glass that you keep as a souvenir (avoiding all risks of contamination linked to oral exchanges and various manipulations) and only the winemaker touches the bottles.
- We regularly clean and disinfect our premises.
- We open every day to dilute the number of visitors per day.
- The Nuits Bulleuses and the Ampelos Workshops are limited to 10 people.
