Depending on your interests, we visit estates and cellars, allowing you to discover the unique characteristics of Jura wines, learn the secrets of their vinification, and deepen your knowledge and tasting experience.
Comté, widely regarded as France’s most popular cheese, is also enjoyed around the world.
Historically, local communities worked together to preserve this precious milk for longer—a spirit of cooperation that continues to this day. To truly discover the essence of Comté AOC, we visit selected cheese dairies, the Comté Museum in Poligny, and the maturing cellars.
The Comté tour can also be combined with a regional wine tour for a complete gastronomic experience.
