Domain Paire is situated in the wine-growing area of Beaujolais. More precisely, in the famous region of Pierres Dorées, half an hour from Lyon amidst magnificent scenery of hills and mountain villages. Here, in the medieval village of Ternand, the family Paire is established since the 17th century. Nowadays three different generations work actively together on the vineyards. The biodynamic vine cultivation began in 2000 and since 2005 wines are certified. This historic place offers an exceptional collection of antiques, telling the story of vines and winemaking, - just perfect for sincere wine lovers who are curious to find out more. Jean Jacques Paire presents his treasures in the on-site museum; visits are free of charge. Guests can furthermore participate in a pedagogic wine tasting, savour the wines of the domain - Beaujolais and Bourgogne - and learn everything about the serving of a wine. The tasty experience is topped off by a buffet offering agricultural products, the so called ‘farmers aperitif'. It is served around wine barrels in an authentic room, which is also spacious enough to accommodate a group. Family Paire kindly recommends to get in contact before your visit.
