DATING from the mid 19th Century, Montpellier’s Domaine de Mujolan vineyards currently produce over 600,000 bottles per year from an area that lends itself perfectly to the production of consistent, quality wine.
Situated close to the Mediterranean, nestling in the western foothills of the Gardiole and totaling over 50 hectares, the Domaine de Mujolan also offers visitors a museum, guided tours of the cellars and a shop selling not only wine but other regional delicacies including honey, pate, olive oil and vinegar.
A change of hands in ownership in 2001 saw the variety of wines on offer increase, many of which have since been rewarded and recognized in various competitions including Vignerons Independents Vinalies and Sileni.
And if you’re looking for a venue for your seminar or indeed even wedding, Domaine de Mujolan can accommodate up to 150 guests in unrivalled opulence.
