History

A family story started in 1830

Our ancestor Hippolyte Arnal created Domaine de La Périnade around 1830.

Passed down from generation to generation, the estate experienced a revival in 2019 with the joint involvement of the 6th and 7th generations, followed by the creation of a private winery the next year.

Since 2019, the estate has returned to on-site vinification, opened its own winery, and joined the Collège Culinaire de France in 2022 — milestones that define a lasting revival.
