Gourmet walk in Orschwihr – Open doors on Sunday 24 May 2026 at Domaine Camille Braun

The Sunday, 24 May 2026, Domaine Camille Braun, Orschwihr, Alsace, will open its doors for a day thought as a crossing: from the landscape to the wine, from the plot to the glass, from the walk to the meeting. At the heart of this event, a unique experience will give its rhythm on Sunday: a gourmand between the Bollenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg, followed by a lunch at the estate. More than just a walk in the Alsatian vineyards, this walk will be a way to enter the wines by their origin, to understand the Land, the climates of Orschwihr, the slopes, soils, exposures and lights that shape each cuvée.

In Orschwihr, the landscape is never a simple decor. He speaks low, but he just speaks. It tells the reliefs, the air currents, the water retention, the heat of the stone, the strength or the restraint of the hillsides. Between Bollenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg, each variation of the ground prints its shade, moves the balance, composes another way for the vine to stand. The gourmet walk in Orschwihr offers precisely this rare time: slow down, look, feel, understand, then taste. The wine then comes with a more legible presence, more incarnate, because it will have walked in the very place that carries it.

A gourmet walk in the heart of the terroirs of Orschwihr

This gourmet walk between the Bollenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg was thought of as a journey through the great landmarks of the local wine landscape. It connects walking, observation, tasting and sharing, in order to make you feel what is often understood only by taking time. Over the course, the terroirs of Orschwihr are revealed by touches: here a more solar hill, there a more mineral tension, further a more floral, wider or more restrained expression. Every place has its breath, its structure, its own light.

The Bollenberg, dry hill, bright, marked by limestone and crossed by winds, offers a particular reading of the vine and maturity. There is in this place a form of disciplined vigour, a contained energy that gives the wines relief, tension and salinity, sometimes discreet, but always present. The Pfingstberg, Great Cru of balance and depth, calls another form of attention. He does not engage in immediate brilliance, but in holding, duration, slow complexity. Between these two markers, the walk becomes almost a sentence: it moves forward, interrupts, resumes, and reveals the differences in soil, slope, and exposure, as many words in the language of the wine.

A geo-sensory tasting experience

The gourmand between the Bollenberg and Pfingstberg offer a unique geo-sensory tasting experience : taste the wines as close as possible to the plots where they were born, tuned with dishes that underline their identity. In this immediate proximity between the vine and the glass, the tasting changes depth. Wine is no longer only perceived by its aromas, texture or finish; It is placed in its origin, in its relief, in its exhibition, in the very silence of the landscape which saw it born.

The look then precedes the taste. The ground illuminates the matter. The wind and light accompany the wine reading. Between Bollenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg, the walker gradually becomes a reader of the landscape, then a reader of the glass. This dimension geo-sensory of the gourmet walk in Orschwihr a particularly strong moment for those who want to discover the wine differently: not only by the explanation, but by the sensitive experience. It is not a question of reciting the terroir, but of trying it out. To feel how a slope changes the light, how a soil holds or lets go water, how a wind refines a maturity, how a place gives the wine its own voice.

A day of open doors between nature, cellar and vintage 2024

Around this main activity, the day will extend to the estate with the tasting our wines, the discovery of the 2024 vintage and cellar visits. These moments will allow to continue the exchange, to better understand the work of vinification and to approach the philosophy of Domaine Camille Braun. Enlisted in organic farming and in Biodynamics, the estate cultivates an attentive relationship to the living, to the rhythm of the seasons and to the singular expression of each terroir. Here, wine is not thought of as a manufacture, but as an accompaniment: to accompany the vine, to accompany the grape, to accompany the wine in its evolution, without seeking to cover what the place has already begun to say.

The cellar visit will naturally extend the reading of the landscape started during the walk. After the slope, the cellar; After the soil, the wine becomes. We will find the same questions: how to accompany without compulsion, how to let the place speak, how to give the wine the opportunity to keep its balance and its truth. The discovery of the 2024 vintage It will also allow us to approach a new year, with its nuances, freshness, tensions and momentum. Each vintage adds a page to the history of the estate; 2024 will come to say its own.
