An exceptional site dedicated to prayer, the Abbey of Lérins is a rich and unique heritage. The religious community governed by the rule of Saint-Benoît has been cultivating the vines on the island of Saint-Honorat since the Middle Ages. Today, the Domaine de l'Abbaye de Lerins produces great wines that are prized far beyond these lands of contemplation.
