E Castle of Feast is surrounded by 22 ha of vines which have a privileged situation. The soil, composed of glacial formations giving a gravelly earth and permeable, profits from a climate whose extremes are softened by the immediate vicinity of the Lake Léman. The culture of the vine is very old there, probably of Gallo-Roman origin. To the Middle Ages the field belonged to the sovereign house of Savoy, but the vine and the wine were the business of monks, canons of Saint-Augustin initially, Chartreux then.

long tradition in the policy of quality has that these monks in the wine making of the seedling chasselas had traced themselves was continued until today by the Necker-Engel family, owner of the field since 1892. Thanks to its wine, Ripaille was indicated in 1994 by the National council of the Arts of cooking like one of the 100 remarkable Sites of the taste of France. The castle of Feast received two gold medals in 1997 and the Gault-Millau critics spoke about it like completely astonishing white high-class wine, very scented, very elegant (the Wine 1995).
