Make the fun of your Kirwan tour last longer by taking part in a sensorial workshop. Aromas of wine alternate with fragrances and perfumes.
A UNIQUE MOMENT
Enjoy an introductory session to the mysteries of perfume-creation; or come into our kitchen and, under the guidance of a chef, cook different refined dishes to taste alongside the estate’s wines. To enjoy one of these fun workshops, our guides are on hand to welcome you from November to April: Mondays to Fridays, from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 5.30pm
from May to October: Mondays to Saturdays, from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 5.30pm
Macaroon-making
This workshop will appeal to all foodies, both young and old. Sophie Mevel teaches you the different steps involved in the making of the famous macaroon. Savoury or sweet? It’s up to you. Attention to detail and rigour are the order of the day in the making of this pastry, which is just as demanding as winemaking! To be sure that the pairing of the macaroons with the Château Kirwan wines to be tasted is just right, we select the flavours used. At the end of the workshop, the budding macaroon cooks are free to take their work away them.

Be a perfume creator
Immerse yourself literally in the aromas of the wines of Kirwan while creating your own version of our “Rouge Sensuel” perfume. This workshop offers an original, fun way to “wear” and “incarnate” Kirwan before actually tasting it. During the session, you get to smell the different raw materials used in the world of both perfumes and wines. Clémentine Humeau of Les Olfactines and Delphine Dentraygues of Les Instantanez are perfume creators and olfactory workshop tutors, and they will skilfully guide you through the art of personalised perfume creation.

Chocolate’s best-kept secrets
Having collaborated with chocolate artisan Hasnaâ Ferreira in “Accords Parfaits”, we invite visitors to Kirwan to come and discover the skills involved in chocolate-making, from the cocoa bean itself to the chocolate bar and to confectionery items! You get to learn all about the splitting of the cocoa pods, the fermentation of the beans, their roasting and finally chocolate tasting. Chocolate-making and winemaking, which both require rigour and precision, have a great deal in common!
