Always vibrant with its mix of cultures and activities, we are delighted to renew this day. In the morning from 10 a.m. to noon, come and dance with the BAZIDANCE association. Free and without registration, put on your sneakers and get started alone or as a couple with Bachata, Chacha, Merengue, or Salsa… it’s going to swing… Food trucks will be there so you can have lunch in the park quietly with “live” music from bands (still to be determined). Then, the sound of the Octofolies closes this Sunday and the last day of their festival (tickets available at the tourist office or at the Château La Grave Bechade – special rates for locals)… Their musical programs will have you dancing until 6 p.m. Throughout this day, stroll through a craftsmen’s market, an exhibition of artists in the castle, and vintage cars in the park… Open to all – FREE ENTRY”

For the first time, La Grave Béchade welcomed visitors to its 2023 European Heritage Days on 16 and 17 September.
More than 150 visitors wandered through the alleys, cellars and fields. While the castle and its history were an eagerly-awaited success, the public were surprised by the hazelnut plantation, which is much less well known. Of course, such an event could not end without a tasting of our wines, with lots of conviviality, friendship and smiles. This first participation in the European Heritage Days was a success. And the whole Grave Béchade team is already looking forward to welcoming visitors again for the 2024 event, which will be held here on Sunday 22 September.
We’re delighted to invite you to the wine festival to be held on 6 August in Duras under the covered market. It’s a special day where you’ll have the unique opportunity to discover our delicious wines thanks to a tasting pass for just €3. 🍷 Immerse yourself in the warm atmosphere of our charming DURAS appellation and let yourself be enchanted by our selection of wines. 🍇 On the programme, we have prepared a day full of discoveries and pleasures: tastings of our best vintages, festive entertainment and many other surprises await you! 🎉 Your presence is essential to make this wine festival an unforgettable event. Please feel free to share this invitation with your friends and family – we hope to see many of you there!
Let’s look back at the Grande Dégustation (Great Tasting) event that took place in Lille on November 28th, where the team from Château La Grave Béchade was motivated and proud to participate in such an event alongside professionals from the region.
It is always a real pleasure to present our products to curious and passionate individuals and, at the same time, introduce them to our beautiful region, which is often unknown to the general public.
Warmly welcomed in the “Grand Play Ground” space on Pierre Mauroy commercial street in Lille, a beautiful dedicated space for our wines and culinary products for one evening.
More than 500 people attended the event to wander through the various stands showcasing appellations such as Montravel, Pecharmant, Bergerac, Rosette, Saussignac, Côte de Duras, as well as stands featuring poultry, duck, lamb, strawberries, and Périgord walnuts.
Everyone was transported by the delicious blends of flavours that burst in the mouth, a true delight.
It was a wonderful evening for the team at Château La Grave Béchade, filled with discoveries and new encounters.
Une Belle journée avec des partenaires locaux– « La REXpérience » au château La Grave Bechade.
Landini, a leading Italian tractor manufacturer (https://www.landini.it/), presents its latest generations of specialized REX tractors during a worldwide tour. From Spain to Australia, passing through Egypt and Bulgaria.
On October 12th, Château La Grave Bechade had the immense privilege of hosting them during their visit to France, providing an opportunity to unite local partners.
We would like to thank Mr. Olivier Pinasseau, manager of SARL MATIGNON since 2005, a major player in the region through his proximity sales and tractor repair business, for being the intermediary between ARGO TRACTORS, the representative of the LANDINI brand in France (https://www.facebook.com/LandiniTractors.France/; https://www.landini.it/fr/; https://www.argotractors.com/fr/), who were looking for a venue in the region, and Château La Grave Bechade.
The connection was immediate. The logistics, led by Théophane Girard, marketing and network development coordinator, took shape, evolved, and materialized.
The guests discovered the premises, marvelled at the presentation, the setup of the tractors, and the beauty of the estate.
TRAITEUR OSSARD (https://ossard-traiteur.com/; https://www.facebook.com/innovation.traiteur) created a warm and delicious moment during the lunchtime cocktail, offering a service worthy of its regional reputation.
A true cohesion was formed among all the guests, partners, and organizers. Their curiosity awakened… they imagined themselves behind the wheel of these machines… The tests began and continued under the sun.
This successful day ended with Théophane’s words: “Beautiful day, warm welcome, excellent organization, and very good caterer. Thank you to Virginie and her team for the Argo France Landini day.”
What we received the next day, to our great joy and reward, brought us immense joy and pride:
“So, yesterday we had our Landini day in your beautiful estate. We were fortunate to have bright sunshine welcoming our clients upon their arrival. Your magnificent site was perfectly suited for the planned organization, and we are delighted with the unanimous feedback from our clients, not only those from our area, as I had guests from Gironde, and fellow dealers came with clients from Tarn-et-Garonne, Gers, and Dordogne.
Thank you to David Lançon and his team for preparing the surroundings so that we could occupy all the available space, for providing us with a vineyard plot for demonstrations, and even for highlighting your fleet of Landini tractors.
Thank you to Virginie for her hospitality and presence throughout the day. We truly felt welcomed, and it was very pleasant. Excellent choice regarding the caterer, as I not only saw the desire to support a local service provider but also the commitment to…quality and originality for this wonderful buffet.
On an ordinary day, a man walks through the door of my office to ask for a history book. It is through this fortunate coincidence that everything began…
This is the encounter with Pascal. He tells me about his journey and that of his wife: he is a nurse, she is a historian at the Bordeaux archives. Tired of working separately, a common desire arises to combine their passions for history and cooking through a new challenge.
They create “LOVING AQUITAINE” at lovingaquitaine.com and facebook.com/lovingaquitaine in Sainte-Colombes de Duras. The result of an extraordinary duo, with Pascal in service and Sylvie in the kitchen, united and supportive in their work as well as in their life. Sylvie cooks with local products and brings back to life forgotten ones. They offer meticulously crafted and refined food and wine pairings, accompanied by historical anecdotes. Unique themes. With their great interpersonal skills, they perfectly cater to the demands and curiosities of customers who come to discover the region.
Thus, through their connection, the château met a couple of their friends: Tracy and David. An unconventional life, split between their native country, England, and their “love at first sight” country, France. A vacation in Monségur became the beginning of their new professional adventure. Falling in love with this Girondin village, located 6km from the château, they purchased a house that they began renting to acquaintances when they had to return to England. They are now at the helm of their own agency, “HOLIDAY COTTAGES & VILLAS,” with 68 high-end properties listed, including Château La Grave Béchade…
What beautiful professional encounters forging exceptional bonds…
