Live an authentic, human experience at the heart of the Champagne Dumont vineyard in Mondeville, by becoming a grape picker for a day with l’Empreinte des Fées.
Tina, the fairy matriarch, will open the doors of the vineyard to you with her benevolent smile. She’ll tell you all about the history of the estate and the highlights of this enduring family business. Laurent, the winemaker, will share his passion for vines and good wine with you over breakfast. He’ll introduce you to the specific characteristics of the terroir and the grape varieties. He’ll also tell you all about the house secrets that go into making the unrivalled products for which Domaine de Mondeville is famous. Pruning shears in hand, you’re ready to pick these sun-drenched fruits!
After the morning’s picking, the hosts will treat you to a convivial meal with a glass of champagne. It’s also an opportunity for winegrowers and pickers to chat. The meal is followed by a visit to the press, which includes a tasting of the grape juice. The day ends with a visit to the cellars: a veritable treasure trove of vintages.
Wine lovers, the day’s program is designed to immerse you in this world, and all in a very convivial atmosphere!

L'empreinte des fées
Want to discover the vineyards of Champagne but not only... ?
Do you want a change of scenery and to discover our landscapes and nature?
Do you want to treat yourself to something different from conventional restaurants?
Above the fog and clinging to the steep hillsides, the terroir of Champignol shapes wines with an inimitable identity. Attached to the preservation of nature, the Mondeville estate, where the fairy footprint is located, is in conversion to organic and biodynamic farming.
On the limestone and stony plateau of southern Champagne, in the heart of the vineyards and forests, live singular experiences and dare to taste the fruits of a greedy and unknown soil, for pure moments of happiness and crazy experiences.
After discovering Champagne and nature, go in search of the Champagne truffle with the truffle grower and her faithful companion in the forests that border the village.
Eco-responsible, authentic and friendly, L'empreinte des fées is sure to have an outing that will hold your attention.
