Cellar
Two stone vaults below the house. Breakfast every morning, a long table on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and a bench at the end where you can taste what the slope produced.
Hours
| What | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | 07:30 – 10:00 | Included with every cottage |
| Tasting bench | 17:00 – 19:00 | Six wines, no charge, no sales pitch |
| Long table | Tue, Thu, Sat from 19:30 | One sitting, tell us by Monday |
| Night pantry | 21:00 – 02:00 | Bread, cheese, fruit, tea. Help yourself |
The night pantry exists because the walk back up from Aubrelle takes twenty minutes and arrives hungry. It is left out every night without exception, including Sundays and Christmas.
What gets served
Breakfast is bread from the village baker, eggs from the run behind the garden, ham, three cheeses, stewed fruit from whatever the orchard gave us, honey, and coffee. It is laid out on the long table and you take what you want.
Dinner on table nights is one menu for everyone: a vegetable dish, a main from the garden or the butcher in Aubrelle, cheese, and something baked. It costs forty-two euros with wine, and it is the reason a lot of guests come back.
The tasting bench is not a shop. There are six wines from this slope and the two beside it, open bottles, small glasses, and someone around to answer questions if you have them. Nothing is for sale in the cellar.
Tell us about allergies and dietary requirements when you write, not when you sit down. With notice the kitchen handles almost anything; without it, on a fixed menu, it cannot.
How it works
- Breakfast needs no arrangement. Come down when you are ready.
- For the long table, tell us by the Monday of your stay. Eighteen seats fill quickly in summer.
- Everyone sits together. If you would rather eat alone, take a tray to your cottage and nobody will mind.
- Children eat the same food in smaller portions, free under six, half price under twelve.
- Everything is added to your account and settled when you leave.
