Confrérie des Goûteux de Bernache, Vouvray: The Confrérie des Goûteux de Bernache have made it their mission to spread the word about Bernache (a new wine produced from Chenin Blanc or Pineau de la Loire grapes grown on the hillsides of Vouvray). The association was founded in 1989 and sings the praises of our fine terroir in green and brown dress. Bernache is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday in November every year.
