The most original wine cellar in France

The newspaper Le Parisien called it "the Cathedral of wine", while Midi Libre described it as "the most original cellar in France". As if it had sprung forth from the earth, our cellar takes the form of a gigantic wine bottle resting on the ground, clad in cork and blending seamlessly into the landscape of Occitanie. The aerial view of the building leaves no doubt as to its function: it is here that the vats, barrels and casks are housed. More than just a stunning work of art, the cellar is a tribute to wine, which is how it all began in Castigno.

Individuals and groups are welcome from April to December for tours in French and English lasting an hour or a day. Visits take place at fixed times for individual visitors. Our team is on hand to organise bespoke events for groups.
