Graves Vineyard Hikes Return to Portets for Autumn Weekend
Hikers and wine enthusiasts will gather in the Gironde department for a 10-kilometer morning trek through local forests and vineyards on October 17 and 18, 2026. The route departs at 9:30 a.m. from the Château des Gravières located at 6C Rue du Mirail in Portets, according to an institutional calendar entry published by La Gironde du Sud.
The autumn weekend event coincides with the broader regional Portes Ouvertes des Graves initiative. Vignobles Labuzan is hosting the morning walks in partnership with the Club Athlétique Villenavais, as reported by the regional events portal jds.fr. Participants will follow a bucolic trail winding between vine rows and wooded areas before returning to the property.
Tasting Local Products at Château des Gravières
Upon returning to the estate at the conclusion of the 10-kilometer route, walkers will take part in a tasting of regional wines and local culinary products. The morning excursion pairs physical activity in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine countryside with direct access to producers during the Graves appellation open house weekend.
Registration details, participation capacities, and specific wine pairings have not yet been fully detailed by the organizing bodies. Visitors seeking to secure a spot for the Saturday or Sunday morning departures can contact the estate directly at its Portes Ouvertes location or review regional listings maintained by La Gironde du Sud.
