Isabelle and Sylvain Olivier met at the grape harvest in 1992 and founded the Fruirouge farm on 1 January 1995, on 2.6 hectares handed down by Sylvain's parents. His grandmother Odette left them the old family farmhouse, ideally placed on the village square. They turned the barn into a shop, the stable into a welcome point and the cowsheds into a workshop. Over the years the farm grew from 2.6 to 13.6 hectares, to supply fine grocers, restaurants and export markets. Their children joined the business, and the next generation is now taking it forward. The farm holds the Vignobles et Découvertes and Tourisme et Handicap labels. ## What you will see The welcome visit tells the family story and leads to a video room in the former workshop, where a film shows the farm's bond with the living world. A commented tasting of jams, drinks and condiments follows. In high summer, guided walks explore the organic orchards, and from spring to autumn a field game invites families and friends to solve riddles among the fruit bushes. ## Planning your visit The farm welcomes visitors all year, from Thursday to Monday. The short welcome visit with its tasting takes about 20 minutes and needs no booking, while the summer orchard visits and the field game must be booked. Concœur is a short drive up from Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Clos de Vougeot, on quiet Hautes-Côtes roads. The family also runs a shop on the Grande Rue in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Check the official website for opening times. ## Did you know? The farm has grown from 2.6 hectares in 1995 to 13.6 hectares, to keep up with demand for its organic blackcurrant and red fruit products. ## Around Fruirouge Farm What to combine with Fruirouge Farm on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vosne-romanee) (3 km away): Six grands crus, including Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, in the village called the pearl of the Côte. - [Chambolle-Musigny](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/chambolle-musigny) (3 km away): A small village known for silky, perfumed reds, the grand cru Musigny and the prized Les Amoureuses. - [Vougeot](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vougeot) (4 km away): Home of the Clos de Vougeot, the Cistercian vineyard and château at the heart of Burgundy's wine story. ### Châteaux - [Château d’Entre-Deux-Monts](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-d-entre-deux-monts) (2 km away): A 17th-century country house in the hills above Nuits, with moats, a park and truffles. - [Château de Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-vosne-romanee) (3 km away): The family seat of the Comtes Liger-Belair, owners of the grand cru La Romanée. - [Château de Vergy](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-vergy) (3 km away): The hilltop stronghold of the lords of Vergy, razed on the orders of Henri IV. ### Things to do - [Romanée-Conti Vineyard (Vigne de la Romanée-Conti)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/romanee-conti-vineyard), 2 km away: A vineyard of about 1.8 hectares, marked by a stone cross and famous all over the world. - [Domaine de Montmain](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-de-montmain-villars-fontaine) (3 km away): A grower's domaine in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits above Nuits-Saint-Georges, open for walk-in tastings and cellar visits. - [Saint-Vivant Abbey, Vergy (Abbaye de Saint-Vivant de Vergy)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/abbaye-saint-vivant-de-vergy), 3 km away: Restored ruins of the Cluniac priory whose monks once owned the great vines of Vosne-Romanée. ### Restaurants - [La Table d’Hôte, La Rôtisserie du Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-d-hote-rotisserie-du-chambertin-gevrey) (8 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred tasting table in an eighteenth-century house in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin - [Le Charlemagne](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-charlemagne-pernand-vergelesses) (11 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Burgundy with a Japanese accent, facing the hill of Corton-Charlemagne ### Events - **Saturday 17 – Sunday 18 October 2026 (Confirmed by the organiser)** · [Fête du Vin Bourru](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/fete-du-vin-bourru-nuits-saint-georges): Nuits-Saint-Georges toasts the new vintage with cloudy, still-fermenting bourru.
