Languedoc: Tour and Tasting at Domaine de Baronarques

Dive into centuries of winemaking tradition with a tour of the Domaine de Baronaques. Acquired by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and her 2 sons in 1998, the vineyard has been in existence since the 17th century, when it was under the possession of the Abbey de Saint-Polycarpe. After arrival at the vineyard, you'll tour the vat-house and barrel-room where wines are fermented and aged, and see the 19th-century French Château, nestled into a tree-covered hill. After the tour, you will have the opportunity to taste the 3 wines produced at the Domaine de Baronaques: Grand Vin Rouge, La Capitalle de Baronarques, and Grand Vin Blanc.

Our tour guide was excellent- extremely knowledgeable and with perfect English as promised. We had a great family day out and headed into Limoux after. The abbey was a good nearby visit too.

Very informative, jacky was lovely. I learnt a lot and visited a beautiful vineyard. Recommended for a trip out of Carassonne but be prepared to pay for taxis.
