Best Practices

Le Perlé

France

(Europe)

Le Perlé, a family business established in 1985, produces a renowned sparkling fruit wine from redcurrants, raspberries, and cherries. The winemaking process preserves the natural taste, creating alcohol and tiny bubbles without additives. Beyond offering facility visits and product tastings, Le Perlé actively collaborates in developing local food products, mapping producers, and organizing the annual Fête de la Groseille, a celebrated community event.

Benefits

Le Perlé exemplifies regenerative food tourism by not only showcasing its product but actively participating in collaborations that promote local food and beverage diversity. The annual Fête de la Groseille has become a community highlight, contributing to the cultural and social regeneration of the region. Le Perlé stimulates economic growth by attracting visitors and fostering collaborations, offering a multi-faceted experience beyond typical wine tourism.

Key Success

Le Perlé’s success lies in its deep connection to local traditions and collaborations. The focus on showcasing the winemaking process in a family setting, involvement in community activities, and the organization of the Fête de la Groseille contribute to its popularity. Challenges include balancing expansion with maintaining a family atmosphere and clarifying the tourism aspect, as the primary goal is product sales rather than attracting tourists.
