Open doors in Orschwihr – Saturday 23 May 2026 at Domaine Camille Braun

The Saturday 23 May 2026, Domaine Camille Braun, Orschwihr in Alsace, will open its doors for a day placed under the sign of the meeting, the cellar and the long time of the wine. A day without detour through the vineyards, but a more direct anchoring in the place where the grapes become wine: the cellar, the barrels, the vats, this discreet space where the transformation takes place.

Here, nothing is required with glare. Everything is played in restraint, in attention to detail, in this passage from fruit to a more constructed, more legible form. The winery visit is not simply a technical journey: it is a way to enter the intimacy of the wine, to understand what is moving, what is gathering, what is soothing. There is the imprint of the vintage, of course, but also that of gestures, choices, and sometimes renunciations.

Enter the wine through the cellar

The cellar visit proposes another rhythm. After the vine, often exposed, moving, subject to the seasons, the cellar offers a more stable space, almost suspended. The light is softer, the gestures slower, the sounds softer. This is where the wine finds its continuity. Not in the evidence of the landscape, but in a form of patience. Wine learns to stand.

Through the vats and drums, we perceive the differences in containers, the choices of rearing, the balances sought. Some wines remain upright, others expand, others take time to gather. Nothing's cracked. It's about accompanying, letting go, staying listening. The cellar thus becomes a place of translation: what the vine gave, the winemaker tries to carry it without distorting it.

Taste the wines, read the vintages

The wine tasting prolongs this immersion. It allows you to explore the different cuvées of the field, to understand their nuances, their balances, their place in the whole. The vintage 2024 will be honored, with its tensions, freshness, lines still in motion. Each wine appears as an answer to the year, but also as a continuity in the work of the field.

Tasting here is not only recognizing aromas or textures. It's connecting. Connect a wine to a place, an exhibition, a gesture. It's also accepting that not everything is done immediately. Some wines take time, others give themselves faster. But all bear part of the landscape of Orschwihr, a way to inhabit the hill.

Time to share: Christophe's flaming pies

At lunchtime, the day takes another face. Simpler, more direct, but equally essential. Christophe leaves the vineyard and cellar for a moment to stand in front of the oven. The time of a day, it becomes flamekuechiolo — Pizzaiolo of flambé pies — and finds this ancestral gesture, made of fine paste, fire and anecdotes.

The flaming pies arrive at the table, still marked by the heat of the oven, crispy on the edges, melting in the center. A dish of sharing, without detour, that calls the wine with obviousness. Again, nothing is demonstrative. It's all right. The wine accompanies, emphasizes, prolongs. Conversations take place, glasses fill up, time relaxes a little.

This moment often stays. Because he's gathering. Because it recalls that wine is not only a matter of tasting, but also of table, presence and conviviality. Between a flamboyant pie and a glass, the domain gives itself to see differently: simpler, more direct, but always faithful to what it is.

A day to meet the wine otherwise

Participate in this day of open doors in Orschwihr, is to choose a more inner approach to wine. Less landscape oriented, more towards what is played in the cellar and in time. It is entering wine by its elaboration, its transformation, its ability to evolve.

For those who want to understand what they enjoy, refine their gaze, connect the wines to their origin and their future, this day offers a moment at once accessible and in-depth. One way to remember that the wine is never frozen: it is built, it moves, it fits in with a duration.

The Domaine Camille Braun welcomes you for a day when the wine tells itself differently. In the cellar, in the glass, around a table. Just a day to take the time.
