A Year in the Vines‘ gives you the chance to sketch a vineyard story from the comfort of your own home!  These online classes will guide you through a wide range of drawing and watercolour techniques whilst following activities at Vignoble Puy throughout the year. It’s a wonderful way to develop your sketch techniques and learn more about the life of a vigneron by staying in touch with news from Leanne and Emmanuel.

Description

In 2024 I am running a series of 4 workshops to sketch through the seasons at Vignoble Puy, a small winery situated in the quaint village of Roubia alongside the Canal du Midi.

If you are unable to attend an event in Roubia, I will also be recording workshops every month that you can enjoy from anywhere in the world!  ‘A Year in the Vines‘ gives you the chance to sketch from the comfort of your own home. These online classes will follow activities at Vignoble Puy throughout the year so are a wonderful way to develop your sketch techniques whilst staying in touch with news from Leanne and Emmanuel.  Follow the series and capture your own ‘year in the vines’ in the south of France!

Online sketch classes: 25€/month, or 200€ for the year

 

 

Who are The Languedoc Vine Guardians?

The Languedoc Vine Guardian program was set up in 2021 by Wendy Gedney and her team at Vin en Vacances to help Emmanuel Puy, a talented young Minervois wine maker following the unusual late spring frost which devastated his vines reducing his crop by over 75%.  Guardians adopt a row of Vignoble Puy vines and receive a case of wine, invitations to events at the domaine, free use of the vineyard trail and picnic area and their name stake planted at the end of their adopted row of vines.  With over a hundred Guardians the program is very social and they each have their own personal connection to the Puy vineyard.  Their support has helped this small independent winemaker to overcome the damage, thrive again and continue to produce delicious Languedoc wines.

These sketch workshops are open to everyone, but if you would like to become a Guardian or even a Copain, please visit the Vignoble Puy website here
