Heritage and Local Stopovers

This charming village in the Narbonne region is built like an amphitheater on a hillside, offering a beautiful panoramic view over the plains of Canet, Raissac, and Saint-Nazaire, nourished by the Aude River. Be sure to visit the wine cellar and attic of the Château de Ventenac-en-Minervois to learn more about Minervois wines and their grape varieties.
