Un arbre, deux vies—the art of giving a second life to old grapevines and used wine barrels—is much more than just craftsmanship: it is a true poetry of the terroir. Born from Romain Guionie's passion for raw materials, this unique arts and crafts project transforms twisted vines and barrel staves into one-of-a-kind pieces. From lamps and sculptures to eco-responsible furniture and decorative objects, discover upcycled creations that tell the story of the vineyard long after their life in the plots.


The Open House Programme on June 6th & 7th in Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac


To celebrate its 8th anniversary, the Un Arbre Deux Vies workshop is throwing its doors wide open on Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th in Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac. Throughout the weekend, exciting animations await you in the heart of the workshop. You are warmly invited to visit the creative space, meet the passionate woodturner Romain Guionie in person, explore his artisanal collections, and learn more about this unique upcycling approach in the Bordeaux vineyard.
