Château de Varennes, Medieval castle in Quincié-en-Beaujolais, France
The château features a square tower, Renaissance courtyards, Gothic wooden halls, and a prominent entrance pavilion surrounded by 28 hectares of vineyards.
The castle, constructed in the 11th century, belonged to Pierre de Varennes before becoming property of the Nagu family from 1395 until 1769.
The estate produces Beaujolais-Villages wines from Gamay and Chardonnay grapes, continuing centuries of winemaking traditions in vaulted 16th-century cellars.
The château welcomes visitors Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM for guided tours and wine tastings.
The property maintains wooden games along a Four Seasons Path through the vineyards, allowing visitors to learn about grape cultivation through interactive elements.
