The Vine Guardians
......in association with Vin en Vacances .
How did the Vine Guardians start?
We were contacted in 2021 by our friend Wendy Gedney, owner of Vin en Vacances (wine and food tours company). Wendy had heard of the terrible frosts of that April which had badly affected us and many other winegrowers in our region and beyond and she, along with her colleague Kate, wanted to help out in some way.
With this in mind they created the Guardian program, which was launched in June 2021 and we have to say, has been a fantastic success!
What is the Vine Guardian program?
You can sign up to become the guardian of a row of organic vines in the Minervois region at our organic, family-run vineyard.
Included with your yearly guardianship:
Your name on a row of our vines -10% discount on wine purchases - Quarterly newsletters - Vine Trails Map - Free use of picnic area - Invitation to free annual tasting and Apéro - Invitations to paid events in the vineyard.

Sketch the Seasons with Annette Morris
A series of fun sketch workshops based on life in the vineyards throughout the year in association with Languedoc Vine Guardians.
Annette has recorded workshops every month that you can enjoy from anywhere in the world! ‘A Year in the Vines‘ gives you the chance to sketch from the comfort of your own home. These online classes follow activities at Vignoble Puy throughout the year so are a wonderful way to develop your sketch techniques whilst understanding a year in the life of a winemaker. Follow the series and capture your own ‘year in the vines’ at Vignoble Puy!
