A
vaulted room beside the tasting cellar houses the
Engarran wine museum containing the tools and machines
which have been used since 1885 in the vineyards
and winery of the chateau.
Rounded
cooper's tools, barrel scales, hand pump, copper
back-mounted treatment "torpedoes", mule-borne
or horse-drawn treatment equipment, a yoke with
the ancestral arms of the family, a grape hod, a
bottle drainer, etc. All these items are evidence
of past working methods in grape and wine production
and illustrate the ancestral traditions of Engarran.
Indexed
in the Hérault museums guide, the tour is
free of charge and will be a pleasant addition to
your tasting session.
There is also a screening of a video made during
the grape harvest to round off your discovery of
Engarran past and present.
