The château de Sonnay stands on a south-facing hillside overlooking the Vienne valley, in Cravant-les-Côteaux. It was once a fief holding full judicial rights, built on a site inhabited since Neolithic times, as shown by remains found in the surrounding heathland and woods. The estate has stayed in the same family and turned toward winemaking, continuing a vineyard tradition dating back to the nineteenth century. Visitors today come mainly for the Chinon wine and for the history of a land shaped across several generations.
