The holiday season is approaching: the countdown to finding the perfect present for your family and friends has begun. Among them, you probably have several wine enthusiasts or discovery lovers that you’d like to surprise. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to please these hedonists: a selection of fine bottles, cellar tours, captivating tastings, immersive wine tourism experiences… Here are our 4 perfect wine gift ideas to leave a lasting impression on both their minds and palates this Christmas.
1. A selection of exceptional wines to place under your Christmas tree
Giving wine is a must for those who love oenology. But which wines should you choose for Christmas to make a difference?
The freshness and refinement of our Château La Nerthe’s organic-certified vintages stand out. These beautiful Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, available in both red and white, can be ordered with just a few clicks from our online shop. Among them, some particularly prestigious bottles will delight even the most discerning wine lovers: our moving Cuvée des Cadettes, our iconic Clos de Beauvenir, and our rarest cuvée, Les Clavelles.
To round out your wine gift set, consider adding AOP Côtes-du-Rhône Villages and Côtes-du-Rhône wines, like Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe. The Beaujolais wines from our Château de Corcelles and Château des Tours offer more accessible options, with beautifully crafted expressions. These wines reveal different facets of the Beaujolais region, whether in Brouilly, Fleurie, Morgon, Beaujolais-Villages, or Beaujolais AOC. Their beautiful vineyard-specific selections invite you to travel through the great Beaujolais estates.
Finally, why not complete your Christmas wine selection with Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur, Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois, or Côtes de Bourg AOC? Our Château Gantonnet, Château Victoria, Château Escalette, and Château de Barbe bottles are ideal choices.
2. A gift voucher for an unforgettable cellar tour to delight your loved ones
Among the most memorable Christmas gifts for wine lovers, a cellar tour ranks high. More than just a tasting, it’s a true immersion into a wine estate.
At Château La Nerthe, nestled in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards, our team offers three exceptional experiences: three suspended ways to taste five centuries of elegance, no matter the season, even in winter…
Each of these tours, which can be purchased as a gift voucher for Christmas, includes a discovery of the historical cellars of our château. You’ll just need to decide whether to complement this journey with a guided tasting of 5 or 7 wines, or even 8 exceptional cuvées from different vintages, in the candlelit ambiance of our secret cellar…
3. A historical wine tourism experience: a unique Christmas gift
If your loved ones plan to visit Beaujolais soon, this original gift idea will enchant them: a timeless experience at the impressive Château de Corcelles, with its distinctive 15th-century towers and expansive park.
There, they can enjoy an audio-guided tour of part of the château. You can also add to this discovery a guided tasting of 4 cuvées from our estate, with or without a delicious traditional mâchon, featuring cured meats and cheeses.
Additionally, an exclusive visit to the first floor of this historic monument, followed by a tasting of 5 wines, can be booked for those wanting to learn more about our château. The more adventurous guests can also explore our vineyards on a Segway before a well-deserved tasting…
4. A stay at the heart of the vineyard: a wine gift idea to share
For unforgettable memories with family or friends, nothing beats an oenology weekend or a prolonged wine-filled stay in a charming gîte in Beaujolais…
Our Château des Tours, located less than 50 km from Lyon and 40 km from Mâcon, is the perfect setting for such a getaway. In the Brouilly AOC, our estate offers two comfortable and elegant gîtes: our Gîte du Vigneron (open year-round) and our Gîte La Sarrasine (open from March to December). Both enjoy an idyllic location within a 12th-century architectural complex, surrounded by a sea of Beaujolais vineyards… This guarantees an extraordinary base for enjoying the wide range of oenological and cultural activities in the region!
We hope this selection of wine gift ideas will help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. For more inspiration, feel free to follow Château La Nerthe, Château de Corcelles, and Château des Tours on Instagram. Happy holidays!
