The vaulted cellar was built at the end of the 18th century, and the château itself in 1830. The Greuzard family bought the estate in 1924 and has been restoring it ever since. Isabelle, Vincent and Xavier Greuzard now farm about 60 hectares in eight villages of southern Burgundy and the Beaujolais crus, working the four Burgundy grapes: chardonnay and aligoté for the whites, pinot noir and gamay for the reds. The family also makes the wines of the Château des Bois, at Milly-Lamartine. ## What you will see The museum gathers more than 2,000 tools from the trades of the early 20th-century countryside, from the joiner and the blacksmith to the cooper and, of course, the winegrower. A guide then takes you through the modern winery, with its stainless-steel vats and presses, before a tasting in the vaulted cellar; children get fruit juice. Some 19 wines are poured, among them Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse, Saint-Véran, Mâcon Serrières, Saint-Amour and the red Bourgogne La Greffière Monopole. Afterwards, a path of about 2 kilometres leads through the vines, with panels on grapes and appellations and a wide view over the estate. ## Opening hours and tickets - Opening hours: All year: Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 17:30 - Admission: Adults €9.60 - Booking: Recommended Checked on 8 October 2026 on [macon-tourisme.com](https://www.macon-tourisme.com/vin/chateau-de-la-greffiere/). ## Planning your visit The estate opens from Monday to Saturday, morning and afternoon, all year.
