Is there a dress code for château visits?
Keep in mind that unless you are a professional coming to negotiate the purchase of a container load of wine, your visit is for pleasure, not business. Accordingly, dress comfortably in casual attire. Jeans and sneakers are perfectly acceptable, but if you are tempted to go further don’t forget that you are going to a château, not the beach. Besides, those barrel cellars are chilly; think of bringing a sweater along if you tend to take cold easily.
