As summer draws to a close, Alsace begins to move to the rhythm of the grape harvest. Ripe bunches are carefully picked while the vineyards gradually take on shades of gold, burgundy and hazelnut.<\/p>\n

Established in Ribeauvill\u00e9 in 1839, at the heart of the Alsatian vineyards, Beauvill\u00e9 has always shared a close connection with this remarkable landscape. The vines surrounding the Manufacture, their seasonal colours and the region\u2019s tradition of hospitality continue to inspire its textile collections.<\/p>\n

This story is beautifully expressed through the Feuilles de Vigne<\/strong><\/a> design and the Mill\u00e9sime<\/strong><\/a>, Fromages<\/strong><\/a> and Les Champignons<\/strong><\/a> tea towels: creations that celebrate wine heritage, French gastronomy and the pleasure of gathering around a welcoming table.<\/p>\n

The grape harvest: a living Alsatian tradition<\/h2>\n

\"Vignes<\/p>\n

The grape harvest is one of the most important moments in the Alsatian wine calendar. It marks the culmination of months of careful work and reflects knowledge passed down through generations.<\/p>\n

Every bunch is picked with attention before the grapes begin their transformation in the cellar. Behind each wine lies a precise understanding of the terroir, the seasons and the time required to reveal its character.<\/p>\n

This respect for materials and craftsmanship resonates deeply with Beauvill\u00e9\u2019s own history. In both winemaking and textile printing, quality depends on expertise, precision and the ability to preserve traditional skills while allowing them to evolve.<\/p>\n

The harvest is also a time for sharing. It brings people together around the vineyards, local wines and seasonal food\u2014an atmosphere that naturally continues around the table.<\/p>\n

Feuilles de Vigne: an Alsatian vineyard expressed through textiles<\/h2>\n

\"Table<\/a><\/p>\n

The Feuilles de Vigne tablecloth<\/a> pays tribute to the vineyards surrounding Ribeauvill\u00e9.<\/p>\n

At the end of summer, green leaves mingle with the first warm autumn tones. As the weeks pass, the landscape reveals a deeper palette of reds, browns and hazelnut shades.<\/p>\n

These changing colours inspired a generous composition in which vine leaves unfold across the fabric. The design captures the special moment when the vines, having offered their fruit, become a spectacle in their own right.<\/p>\n

More than a decorative pattern, Feuilles de Vigne<\/a> tells the story of Beauvill\u00e9\u2019s connection to Alsace. Available as a tablecloth, napkins and table runner, it brings the warmth and richness of the vineyards into the home.<\/p>\n

Mill\u00e9sime: French wine heritage in the kitchen<\/h2>\n

\"Torchon<\/a><\/p>\n

The connection between Beauvill\u00e9 and the world of wine continues with the Mill\u00e9sime tea towel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the variety of French grape varieties, this original design brings together vine stocks, elegant bottles and the atmosphere of a traditional wine cellar.<\/p>\n

The name Mill\u00e9sime refers to a vintage year and to the time required for a wine to develop its identity. The design therefore becomes a tribute to French wine heritage and to Beauvill\u00e9\u2019s own location among the vineyards of Ribeauvill\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Both practical and decorative, Mill\u00e9sime<\/a> introduces an authentic vineyard-inspired touch to the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Wine is also experienced through the food with which it is shared. Mill\u00e9sime<\/a> can therefore be naturally paired with the Fromages tea towel<\/a> and the Les Champignons tea towel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fromages<\/strong><\/a> celebrates generous cheese boards, shared meals and the French art of entertaining.<\/p>\n

Les Champignons<\/strong><\/a> evokes autumn walks through the forest, fresh woodland air and comforting seasonal dishes prepared after returning home.<\/p>\n

Together, the three designs form a gourmet trilogy<\/a>:<\/p>\n
