AN ANCESTRAL VINEYARD<\/a><\/h3>\n

It would seem that Greek people may have implanted vines in the Languedoc region, but its the Roman’s that cultivated it. After the fall of the roman Empire, monks (Benedictines et Cistercians) from monasteries and abbey took over and kept these crops going through the centuries. Nowadays, this region offers fine wines of a great quality and with Mediterranean accents. Beautiful moments of conviviality to share around vines and wine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_btn title=”Discover french wine road in the South of France!” shape=”square” size=”xs” align=”left” button_block=”true” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.destinationsuddefrance.com%2FDecouvrir2%2FRoutes-Oenotouristiques-Sud-de-France|title:d%C3%A9couvrir%20le%20vignoble|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”2306″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http:\/\/www.destinationsuddefrance.com\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]
