Just outside Montpellier, Domaine de Verchant is a particularly serene destination, with its 16th-century manor house and outbuildings surrounded by 40 hectares of vineyards. These historic buildings have been carefully preserved and updated with bold architectural touches, such as its modern glass-walled additions. Whether you stay in the original house, rustic outbuildings, contemporary accommodation or its private villa, you will appreciate the innate harmony of the place. Here, contemporary decor sits alongside ancient stone and antique mosaics, creating an elegant and welcoming atmosphere. A stay at Domaine de Verchant is also a chance to enjoy an escape in the heart of a Mediterranean wine estate. Its wines pair beautifully with the refined cuisine of gourmet restaurant Marcelle or sunny lunches at the La Plage brasserie, overlooking the pool. After your meal, take a stroll through the gardens or relax in the sumptuous 23,000-square-foot spa.

Wine Tastings & Initiation

Domaine de Verchant's pebble soil is typical of the "La Méjanelle" region. Bathed in the southern sun, the vineyard benefits from both the mistral and the sea breeze. Covering 17 hectares, old vines grow alongside recently planted vines, resulting in three colors and seven different wines. Three new cellars have been created in the old cellars and are stocked with more than 1,600 bottles, including grands crus from France and further afield. Our sommelier will select six of the most prestigious wines from the Languedoc, including some hidden gems, for you to try. A unique opportunity to gain an overview of the region and its Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (AOCs): Pic Saint Loup, Grès de Montpellier and Terrasses du Larzac to name just a few.
