Horse ploughing matches in the vineyards
For the second year in a row, the Bourgueil Wine association (syndicat des vins de Bourgueil) will organize a horse-drawn ploughing in the vineyards on July the 6th 2019. During the whole day, a professional jury will rank the quality of work and the management of horses of around 12 players who will come from all over France. It is the opportunity to discover an environmentally-friendly activity and an ancestral agricultural tradition.
