We love it here. We’ve now visited a third time, initially 2014, then 2016 with our two children, and now post Covid 2023 as a couple. It is an ideal stop off en route to the South of France or the Alpes, being a day’s drive from Calais. The location is a beautiful vineyard on a hill looking down over Lugny, with vines around. This is a family owned vineyard and Anthony has developed the business significantly since our first visit, and now managing his own cuvee, with his own grapes from his own terroirs, some neighbouring the house, others in the Lugny appellation. There are a number of overnight accommodation options from barrel pods to delightful bedrooms in the farmhouse. The rooms are well equipped, spacious, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms. There is an evening meal on offer - three courses, homemade soup to start, delicious meats and cheeses, all locally sourced, as well as pudding. You can take advantage of a tour round the vineyard, comprehensive explanation of how Anthony makes his award winning wines (sparking Cremant, white, red and rosé), and of course these are on offer to wash down dinner, or to take away. Breakfast is extensive - several different types of fresh bread from the local baker, honey from the neighbour, homemade yoghurt, jams and grape juice, delicious coffee and much more. Lugny is just down the hill - where there is the local wine cooperative with very knowledgeable and helpful manager, on hand to support tastings and explain the local wine varieties.
