nce a thriving winery, the last bottling at the Château was in 1988. Today the winery is being refurbished under the watchful eye of winemaker David Alcaraz, and 2012 will see the first vintage of our boutique “terroir” wines.

 

Throughout the year we also host a regular series of wine tastings and events, with a ‘hands on’ emphasis on relaxation and discovering the people, places and history behind the wines.

 

Alternatively, just while away a few hours perusing our extensive collection of the best regional wines, which can be consumed on or off site.

 

Regular Events

Throughout the year we regularly we hold regular events, including:

  • Regular ‘Meet the Winemaker’ tastings – both at and beyond the Chateau - with the best local winemakers
  • ‘Discover the Languedoc’ tasting – a whistle-stop tour of the major appellations
  • Tasting Masterclass – how to get the best out of your wine
  • Food & Wine Pairing evenings, with carefully paired selections.
  • Full and half-day wine experiences – learn the wine-making process end to end

These events are weekly throughout the summer season.

 

Chateau Les Carrasses Wine-Making Course
We also run a series of hands-on wine-making courses, run over 6 weekends throughout the wine-making year. At these Guests participate in all aspects of the winemaking process. From harvest to assembly and bottling, guests embark on a journey of practical discovery that will launch a lifetime's study. If you would like to be kept informed about the next of these events, click here.

 

Chateau Les Carrasses Food & Wine Weekends
We also organise a series of Mediterranean Food & Wine weekends. Hosted by Anne deRavel and David Alcaraz, and with a very hands-on emphasis, the idea is to provide a full weekend overview of Languedoc food and wine. If you would like to be kept informed, click here.
