The cultivation of the vine
The Romans cultivated vines in Vacqueyras during antiquity. The arrival of the popes in the Middle Ages contributed to the development of a wine-growing tradition with a strong identity, combining the generosity of the terroir with a high standard of know-how and production processes. The wines of Vacqueyras continue to delight the palates of oenology enthusiasts to this day. Discover the Comtat Venaissin wineries and taste, in moderation, the red, white and rosé wines that are renowned throughout the world.
