Domaine Joseph Lafarge Wine Resort B&B

Great last minute spot No coffee maker or frudge

It was a breathtaking experience to stay there. A beautiful and clean house where we slept wonderfully. We enjoyed a never before seen view from the mountain. We enjoyed breakfast outside and it was very tasty. The staff has all the time for you and the wine tasting was well supervised.

Beautiful location on a serene property. The staff were very helpful with making a dinner booking in the nearby town as well as jumping at the chance to offer a full wine tasting. Very knowledgeable! There’s a communal building centrally located with fridges for your wine or snacks if you wish to have them on the lawn overlooking the property. Breakfast on offer consisted of homemade yoghurt, grape jelly and juice from the vineyard among other continental breakfast staples. 10/10 would recommend.

Very calm snd scenic atmosphere. Great and hospitable staff with great assortments of homemade wine, jam and juice. Owner was very nice. Will certainly come back again.

We stayed for almost a week in one of the gîtes as a last-minute booking and it was lovely. Our hosts were very friendly and spoke good English and we enjoyed the vineyard tour and tasting. Despite it being the height of harvest season, we weren't really disturbed by noise. Though there was not a lot of private outdoor space, on the days we wanted to stay in and relax, we took chairs out underneath a tree on the lawn and nobody seemed to mind. The house itself has been beautifully renovated with modern shower/bathroom and kitchen, though we didn't spend much time inside apart from to sleep and cook. It would have been great to be able to pre-order a few basic groceries for the stay as we arrived on a Sunday evening when supermarkets were closed and meant the first thing we had to do on Monday morning was go shopping. The nearest restaurant is on the other side of Lugny, and the large supermarket a 10-minute drive. It's easy to reach Mâcon and local sights by car, and is about an hour from Lyon. For a quiet rural escape, Domaine Joseph Lafarge is thoroughly recommended.

We love it here. We’ve now visited a third time, initially 2014, then 2016 with our two children, and now post Covid 2023 as a couple. It is an ideal stop off en route to the South of France or the Alpes, being a day’s drive from Calais. The location is a beautiful vineyard on a hill looking down over Lugny, with vines around. This is a family owned vineyard and Anthony has developed the business significantly since our first visit, and now managing his own cuvee, with his own grapes from his own terroirs, some neighbouring the house, others in the Lugny appellation. There are a number of overnight accommodation options from barrel pods to delightful bedrooms in the farmhouse. The rooms are well equipped, spacious, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms. There is an evening meal on offer - three courses, homemade soup to start, delicious meats and cheeses, all locally sourced, as well as pudding. You can take advantage of a tour round the vineyard, comprehensive explanation of how Anthony makes his award winning wines (sparking Cremant, white, red and rosé), and of course these are on offer to wash down dinner, or to take away. Breakfast is extensive - several different types of fresh bread from the local baker, honey from the neighbour, homemade yoghurt, jams and grape juice, delicious coffee and much more. Lugny is just down the hill - where there is the local wine cooperative with very knowledgeable and helpful manager, on hand to support tastings and explain the local wine varieties.
