Welcome

A retreat between the vineyards, the châteaux and the wide open spaces of the Morvan

Domaine de la Verrerie is ideally placed at the crossroads of the renowned terroirs of Beaune and Pommard, the ancient city of Autun and the unspoilt landscapes of the Morvan Regional Nature Park.

  • The vineyards 15 min From Épinac, set off to discover Burgundy's finest appellations: Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Santenay.
  • Autun 20 min An ancient city, Autun reveals two thousand years of history. From Gallo-Roman remains to a medieval cathedral — a cultural outing to delight everyone, history lovers and casual strollers alike.
  • The Morvan 20 min Dense forests, lakes and pure air: a true haven of unspoilt nature.

The house

On the former glassworks site

We fell for this place, steeped in history and full of charm. Our aim is to give it back its character while bringing it the comforts of today. Restoring it step by step keeps bringing lovely surprises that spur us on: little by little, the house is regaining all its authenticity. So the part where we welcome you today is fully finished, while the rest of the house carries on, at its own pace, with its revival.

The story of the house

Set at the edge of the park, the house is thought to have been built around 1780-1790 to lodge, at different times, the master glassmakers and the foremen, and to house administrative offices. After the Épinac glassworks closed for good in 1934, the building and its park became private property.

Bottles and glassmaking remnants found on site bear witness to this past. The Mine, Glassworks and Railway Museum, close by in the village, takes the discovery further.

The park

An exceptional park of century-old trees

As the seasons pass, the park transforms itself: colours, light and atmosphere shift, painting an ever-changing picture. Its elevated position opens up lovely views over the surrounding countryside, notably towards the Château d'Épinac, and lends itself to remarkable sunsets. A place made for contemplation and renewal.

Discover the park

Covering nearly 9,000 m², the park brings together a great variety of tree species, several of them over a hundred years old. A tarmac drive runs right through it, while garden paths invite you to explore its every corner.
