Weekend of exploring, meeting people and tastings in the Jura

Distillery and traditional stills

From the viewpoint, go along the Roman road that leads to the centre of the village

This is an original experience that will call upon all the senses…Carine Simonin, distilling farmer at the La Belle Plante Distillery, grows and picks plants to make her own delicious absinthe, liqueurs, herbal teas and sweet treats and savoury spreads. 

Carine organises tours of her garden and where she dries the plants, followed by tastings around the traditional still.

Easy-going atmosphere, utter pleasure for the senses!

Make your way to La Caborde, a cultural centre in Beaufort-Orbagna on the theme of winegrowing. This unique place was designed by architects from Lons-le-Saunier, Reichardt & Ferreux, to blend into its surroundings.

'La Caborde' is also the local term for the historic drystone huts found in the vineyards of the Jura. They were once used to store tools and as a shelter.

Throughout the year, the La Caborde centre offers a diverse range of cultural events, including exhibitions, aperitif concerts, entertainment for children, wellness activities and much more.

- A shop selling gourmet and creative products from local farmers and craftspeople.

- A tasting venue for an introduction to the wine produced in the southern Revermont vineyards.

The panoramic terrace at La Caborde is a great place to relax and unwind! From there, you'll be able to admire a superb 360° view over the Bresse Bourguignonne vineyards and plains. 

Come and meet Tristan, the potter

This potter's workshop was born from a desire to create with the hands, a desire for independence and freedom. From this first idea then came the desire to share, discuss, and exchange ideas with others.

Tristan works with enameled stoneware and creates useful objects, decorative items or pieces for the garden. The creations made in this workshop all showcase a particular fondness for nature.

Besides being a place of creation, this is also a place for people to meet up and share ideas and knowledge. Tristan organises introduction to pottery courses using a pottery wheel and techniques for working with clay, as well as tours of the workshop.

Come and meet Fred, the blacksmith

The forge at the Atelier l’Arbre-Lune creates long-lasting and repairable everyday objects (tools, household accessories, knives, etc.), made from forged steel and wood.

Fred combines traditional blacksmithing techniques with hot steel forging and woodworking. He creates objects using recycled materials and these creations have a minimal environmental impact.

Tours of the forge can be organised all year round with prior bookings. The blacksmith also provides holiday gites and guestrooms with the French 'Accueil Vélo' label in a venue devoted to art and local craftsmanship.
