The Minervois is in the region of the Languedoc in the South of France. This wine growing region spans the departments of Aude and Herault and is easily accessed and has much to offer from its rich history.

Land of wild gorges, red wines, Cathar villages, perfumed garrigue, abbeys, castles, rivers for fishing or swimming, magical scenery and all close to the Mediterranean. The roman town of Narbonne is just thirty minutes away to the east and the magical Cité at Carcassonne is thirty mins to the west.

There is much to see and do in the area but there are also some very worthy day trips to be had. Perhaps a day in Montpellier, Nîmes or Toulouse. Throughout the Pyrenees and along the Mediterranean coast you can find ancient castles and picturesque villages that have been untouched by time. Walking and cycling are very popular in the Montagne Noire where there are rich areas of wildlife and beautifull scenery; or perhaps even a trip to Spain - the border is just and hour and a half away!
