A Wine Tour & Tasting
Embark on an immersive journey into the heart of a working vineyard at Domaine La Bouche du Roi, a contemporary winemaking outfit nestled on the rich Plain of Versailles.
A journey of the senses
Stroll through the vines with your expert guide, as the landscape opens up into gently sloping rows and airy views across the Île-de-France countryside. Your tour will afford a glimpse into the Domaine’s sustainable methods and meticulous vinification process, before you move on to a private tasting of the house’s signature cuvées.
Each glass reveals the character of the land: subtle, delicious, and deeply rooted in the history of the region
Create your own signature blend
For those who enjoy a more hands-on experience, the Cuvée Experience invites you to step into the cellar as a winemaker. Following a guided tour and tasting, guests are welcomed into the blending room to compose their own personalised cuvée under the guidance of the estate’s oenologists – for a profoundly individual sensorial experience.
La Bouche du Roi: an exceptional winery in the heart of the Versailles countryside
In the small and charming village of Davron, between the Château de Versailles and the valley of Mauldre, lie the exquisite vineyards of Domaine La Bouche du Roi. Once the hunting grounds of the Kings of France, today the estate is the largest working winery in the Île-de-France region, cultivating 27 hectares of organic grapevines. As early as 1588 the wines produced here were greatly prized for their quality, and were served at the royal table in Versailles – thus earning them the iconic nickname of La Bouche du Roi (“the Mouth of the King”).
Today the estate has once again taken up this title, in a nod to the region’s golden age of winemaking. La Bouche du Roi offers a style of wine that is distinctly rooted in this era, and after you’ve explored the vineyards you can sample their unique aromas, flavours and grape varieties during a special tasting.
Discover exceptional craftsmanship
Seamlessly blending tradition with modernity, the estate produces perfectly balanced organic wines, showcasing the grape varieties for which France is renowned. Their freshness and vivacity embody the very essence of the exceptional terroir found only in this Yvelines winery. This exclusive guided tour is an opportunity to experience an immersive visit to the vineyards, and to awaken your senses with an extraordinary tasting workshop – a vibrant homage to the traditional importance of wine in the Court of the Sun King, and the art de vivre so unique to Yvelines.
When you return to the hotel, enjoy a spell of tranquillity at the Valmont Spa, or take a refreshing stroll in the gardens of Versailles. As night falls, join your loved ones at Le Grand Contrôle’s Michelin-starred restaurant for a sensational culinary journey: a nine-course feast by Alain Ducasse that will astound even the most discerning palates, served amidst spectacular original decor.
