Grand vide-greniers de Benais

Treasure hunting and vineyards in Benais

The grand vide-greniers de Benais is an early summer event much appreciated by treasure hunters from the Bourgueillois region. Held in the village center from 6 am to 6 pm, the car boot sale welcomes many private sellers offering clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, tools, small furniture, vinyl records, and various second-hand items. The atmosphere of a wine-making village and the picturesque setting add to the pleasure of treasure hunting.

Benais, heart of the Bourgueil vineyards

Benais (37140) is a wine-making commune in the heart of the AOC Bourgueil appellation, one of the finest red wines of the Loire Valley, made from the cabernet franc grape variety. The village is famous for its troglodytic cellars dug into the tuffeau stone, where winemakers age their wines. The Château de Benais, the Romanesque chapel, and the winegrowers' houses form a discreet but authentic heritage. The Benais hillside produces wines renowned for their finesse and aging potential.
