Appellation Cotes Du Rhone Villages Vaison La Romaine Spring VinesVaison-la-Romaine’s tradition of winegrowing dates back to antiquity. As early as Roman times, the hills were planted with vines and amphorae circulated along the Empire’s trade routes.
Recognized as a Côtes du Rhône Villages as early as 1966, the appellation gained in notoriety until 2016, when it was granted the right to proudly display the geographical designation “Vaison-la-Romaine” on its labels. This recognition honors the work of our winemakers and the uniqueness of our terroir.
