Château d'Agassac has always put particular emphasis on respect for the environment and on obtaining top quality products.

Adjusting the use of crop protection products to the actual needs of the vines, enhancing the resources and mechanisms of natural control by the local fauna and flora, maintaining the balance of the biodiversity and ecosystem of the south of the Médoc, massively reducing pollution of the water, soil and air, ensuring maximum safety for its staff and neighbours, they are among the strong points of Château d'Agassac which resulted in its being awarded the "INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT" qualification in 2004.

Recognition of these environment-friendly methods is reinforced by the annual inspections carried out by the AFAQ/AFNOR agencies as part of the TERRA VITIS specifications.

The Best Of Wine Tourism contests are organised by the towns which are members of the Capitals of Great Vineyards network which includes the cities of Bordeaux, Cape Town, Florence, Melbourne, Oporto, San Francisco, Mendoza and Bilbao/Rija. The Best of Wine Tourism awards of this international contest, reserved to the most original and most innovative, vineyards and venues dedicated to wine, are given each year to the most welcoming and most professional sites in the field of wine tourism.

On several occasions, the judges of the Best of Wine Tourism panel have been particularly impressed by the combination of those virtues at Château dAgassac :

in 2006 : 2006 a Gold Silver Best in the Architecture category for the rehabilitation of the estate and its refurbishment for the reception of visitors ;
in 2007 : a Gold Best in the Events Organisation category in recognition of the expertise of our team not only in the field of business tourism (seminars, conventions, gala dinners, Flower Festival, etc.) but also in the organisation of events for the general public (Cine-sites, concerts, Open Days, etc.) ;
in 2009 : a Gold Best in the Innovation category in recognition of the Vin-teractive Tour , a treasure-hunt using an audio-video I-Pod, an original and unique creation in France launched at Château dAgassac, at long last offering wine tourism for the family !
