The Haut-Minervois, separately named, consists of a variety of villages situated in the Northern part of the Minervois region in the Languedoc-Rousillon (including Herault and Aude wine regions). These include:

• Rieux Minervois, location of the tourist site, the Rieux Church.
• Caunes Minervois, well known for its abbey, ancient city and wineries, all set on the backdrop of the Montagne Noire, and only minutes away from the well-known Gouffre Géant de Cabrespine caves.
• La Redorte, home to a Canal du Midi port and production of many local specialties.
• Minerve, the last stand of the Cathares sits atop a cliff between two riverbeds, a mere 15 minute drive from La Dolce Vita - not to be missed!

Corbières
Another area named for its wine appellation & production, the Corbières extends from the south side of the canal all the way to the Spanish border. This region includes hilltop ruins and many small, interesting villages to explore.

There are too many caves, tasting rooms, and châteaux to name, but we can provide information for touring them once you arrive - or contact us ahead of time for suggestions.
