Château couhins stands in Villenave-d'Ornon (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Château Couhins is a wine estate in Villenave-d'Ornon, in the Gironde, classified as a Grand Cru of Graves. Its vineyard, among the oldest in the Graves region, dates back to the 17th century and passed through the Hanappier and then Gasqueton families before being taken over by the INRAE research institute in 1968. Visitors today find modern cellars and a reception area built around winemaking, rather than a château in the monumental sense.

What to know

  • The estate is primarily a working winery, with cellars and a wine shop.
  • No verified information is available on visiting hours or admission fees for the building itself.
  • The property has belonged to the INRAE research institute since 1968 and also serves as an agronomic research site.
  • Occasional events, such as evenings among the vines, are sometimes organised by the estate.
