We visited this vineyard during our barge cruise on the Canal du Midi. It was an extraordinary encounter with a passionate and very welcoming winemaker who gave us an unforgettable experience and introduced us to exceptional wines. A thousand thanks — we will remember it for a long time!

What our visitors say
10/10 experience. If you're looking for a genuine, top-tier vineyard experience, this is it! Stefan was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. He gave us a detailed, honest look into winemaking and answered all of our questions without rushing us. The wines were wonderful and their super friendly dogs accepted my pets. Left feeling blessed (and a bit tipsy)!
A spectacular experience. The owner opened the winery especially for us and took the time to explain everything with tremendous passion and dedication. You can feel the love he has for his wines. He gave us an incredible tasting where we tried several labels — the wines are truly outstanding. Not just a visit, but a warm, personal and authentic experience. Highly recommended. We would go back without hesitation!
Thank you to Stéphane and his team for welcoming us in the cellars of Domaine de la Périnade. He speaks with passion but without pretension about his wine, and helped us understand every step of the winemaking process, which we then savoured with delight. Bravo Stéphane, and long may La Périnade thrive!

Our story
A family history since 1830
Hippolyte Arnal planted the first vines in 1830 across fifty hectares between the Canal du Midi and the Fresquel river. The family house at the heart of the estate is still home to the seventh generation today.
Passed down from generation to generation, the estate experienced a revival in 2019 with the involvement of the 6th and 7th generations, followed by the creation of a private winery the next year.
